WERE  YOU  BORN  UNDER  A  LUCKY 
STAR? 


HUMAN  CRYSTALLIZATION. 

So  many  eminent  men,  eminent  both  in  science  and 
literature,  have  been  secretly  interested  in  astrology  of 
late  years,  that  we  may  not  unreasonably  expect  before 
long  a  public  movement  toward  a  scientific  investigation 
of  the  observed  facts  in  connection  with  it.  And  then 
we  may  hope  that  the  ordinary  man  will  not  burst  into 
peals  of  laughter  at  the  very  mention  of  the  word  "as- 
trology" as  he  does  today. 

There  are  several  elements  which  militate  against  the 
serious  study  of  astrology.  The  first  and  greatest  is  the 
almost  utter  lack  in  this  day  of  anything  approaching  a 
scientific  knowledge  of  mind  and  emotion.  Astrology 
presumes  to  point  out  how  mind  and  emotion  are 
molded.  But  we  must  understand  mind  before  we  can 
reasonably  go  on  to  an  investigation  of  the  causes  which 
made  it  so.  What  do  the  scientists  know  of  love,  the 
most  powerful  of  human  emotions !  How  very  small  is 
our  knowledge  of  the  natural  processes  of  human  ob- , 
servation  and  deduction  !  What  little  we  do  know,  came 
down  to  us  chiefly  from  the  Greeks.  Indeed,  we  may 
say  that  our  knowledge  of  the  intellectual  processes  and 


6  INTRODUCTION. 

the  commonest  emotions  of  a  human  being  are  of  the 
most  elementary  kind. 

And  this  confusion  of  knowledge  has  introduced  into 
astrology  vital  mistakes.  Personally  I  have  never  seen 
a  scintilla  of  evidence  to  suppose  that  the  positions  of 
the  planets  in  any  way  determine  human  events  except 
in  determining  the  crystallization  of  human  character 
at  birth.  But  in  attempting  to  account  for  events  in  a 
life,  no  distinction  has  been  made  between  those  events 
which  are  the  result  of  character  and  those  which  come 
from  quite  different  causes.  For  instance,  an  astrologer 
foretells  that  a  child  should  die  of  drowning  in  his  sixth 
year.  But  it  is  not  the  event  that  he  really  can  say 
anything  about,  only  the  disposition  of  the  child  to 
meddle  with  water  at  that  age.  The  child  will  very  likely 
fall  into  the  water,  as  in  a  case  I  have  in  mind,  but 
astrology  had  no  possible  means  of  knowing  that  some 
one  would  fish  him  out  before  he  was  drowned.  A  cer- 
tain horoscope  indicated  the  character  for  a  lawyer,  who 
at  a  certain  period  of  his  life  would  have  an  inclination 
toward  female  clients.  If  at  that  time  he  had  such  a 
distinguished  client,  it  was  by  no  means  the  stars  that 
brought  that  client  to  him.  His  disposition  naturally 
led  him  to  associate  himself  with  whatever  eminent 
female  criminal  client  might  then  have  need  of  a  lawyer. 
Again,  many  people  have  died  violent  deaths  for  which 
there  seems  no  reason  in  the  horoscope.  It  simply 
illustrates  the  fact,  as  I  personally  believe  it  to  be,  that 
there  are  two  kinds  of  fate — the  one  in  a  man's  own 
character,  the  other  in  circumstances  outside.  With 
those  outside  circumstances  astrology  has  nothing  to 


INTROD  UCTION.  7 

do,  though  indeed  it  often  seems  to  have  much  because 
we  do  not  understand,  with  our  limited  .psychology,  the 
difference  between  the  events  which  result  from  a  man's 
own  nature  and  those  which  come  from  wholly  exterior 
circumstances. 

The  second  great  obstacle  in  the  path  of  a  scientific 
investigation  of  astrology  is  the  fact  that  it  is  almost 
entirely  in  the  hands  of  those  mystics  who  either  call 
themselves  "artists,"  or  else  apply  to  themselves  the 
adjective  "esoteric,"  whatever  that  may  mean.  It  is  of 
course  impossible  for  the  scientist  to  consider  seriously 
that  ethereal  fluid  which  emanates  from  the  stars  and 
penetrates  man's  being,  or  to  indulge  in  rhapsodies  over 
the  spiritual  harmony  of  the  universe.  These  terms  and 
theories  no  doubt  foreshadow  and  correspond  with 
actual  discoveries  and  facts ;  but  they  mean  nothing  to 
the  scientists.  In  short,  a  scientific  theory  of  astrology 
is  necessary  before  the  scientist  will  be  tempted  even 
to  investigate  the  facts  observed. 

But  we  will  pass  to  another  obstacle  in  the  path  of 
astrology,  though  to  our  mind  really  the  slightest  of 
all,  the  charlatan  fortune-telling  for  so  many  ages  asso- 
ciated with  it.  Even  if  the  whole  claim  of  astrology 
were  fully  admitted,  foretelling  a  man's  future  would 
be  an  impossibility  because  of  the  multiplicity  of  known 
elements  (let  alone  the  unknown)  which  go  to  make  that 
future.  In  astronomy  allowance  always  has  to  be  made 
for  comets  and  world-explosions.  Infinitely  greater 
allowance  would  have  to  be  made  in  the  realm  of  astrol- 
ogy, so  infinitely  complicated  is  it  in  comparison  with 
astronomy.  It  is  not  for  fortune-telling  that  we  wish  to 


8  INTRODUCTION. 

investigate  astrology ;  but  if  it  is  a  true  science  even  in 
possibility,  how  greatly  would  that  fact  serve  to  revolu- 
tionize our  view  of  erring  fellow-beings,  and  of  a  thou- 
sand other  things ! 

But  we  do  not  believe  that  the  known  charlatanism 
associated  with  astrology  would  operate  to  prevent  hon- 
est scientific  men  from  investigating  the  meaning  of 
observed  facts.  Charlatanism  characterized  mesmerism 
and  hypnotism,  but  scientific  men  have  redeemed  this 
latter  subject  from  the  region  of  fancy  and  made  it  sci- 
entific. 

Another  reason  for  much  of  the  absurdity  in  ancient 
astrology  was  the  small  knowledge  of  astronomy  then 
possible.  For  instance,  the  discovery  of  Uranus  has  in 
a  moment  accounted  for  grave  discrepancies  which  the 
ancients  found  in  many  horoscopes. 

We  stated  above  that  one  great  obstacle  in  the  path 
of  a  scientific  future  for  astrology  was  our  lack  of  knowl- 
edge of  the  human  mind.  There  is  one  branch  of  the 
study  not  open  to  that  objection,  however — the  effect 
of  the  heavenly  bodies  on  health.  We  have  a  whole 
learned  profession  devoted  to  the  study  of  physiology 
and  the  welfare  of  the  human  body.  The  medical  pro- 
fession should  therefore  be  prepared  to  investigate  the 
facts  of  astrology  as  affecting  the  human  body  in  health 
or  illness.  It  is  from  the  physiological  point  of  view 
chiefly  that  our  investigation  can  at  present  be  con- 
ducted. Here  we  have  an  infinite  possibility  of  obtain- 
ing facts,  and  when  it  is  stated  that  a  man  has  typhoid 
fever  or  measles,  there  is  no  doubt  about  it.  Facts 


INTRODUCTION.  9 

there  are  in  plenty  to  prove  that  human  disease  has  a 
direct  connection  with  various  combinations  of  stars  and 
planets  in  certain  positions.  If  any  one  doubt  the  exist- 
ence of  the  facts  he  has  only  to  look  into  the  cases  that 
lie  easily  before  him.  There  are  not  a  score,  but  thou- 
sands, and  out  of  a  thousand  cases  one  can  come  to 
a  fairly  accurate  conclusion  concerning  facts,  after  mak- 
ing ample  allowance  for  coincidences. 

But  granting  certain  facts  as  patent,  what  explana- 
tion can  you  give?  asks  the  scientist.  The  penetrating 
influence  of  Karma  is  not  a  satisfactory  answer. 

Taking  the  facts  before  us,  let  us  proceed  to  deduce 
an  hypothesis,  if  not  a  theory.  First,  let  us  state  a  few 
facts  and  then  make  a  natural  deduction. 

Facts :  Certain  stars  or  planets  on  the  point  of  rising 
at  the  time  of  birth  have  been  observed  to  be  connected 
with  certain  types  of  physique. 

Certain  effects  have  been  observed  to  be  associated 
with  combinations  of  planets  in  certain  positions  of  the 
zodiac  when  their  light  reached  the  earth  so  as  to  form 
an  angle  of  sixty  or  one  hundred  and  twenty  degrees 
(the  favorable  aspects  of  the  sextile  and  trine) ;  certain 
results  quite  the  reverse  have  appeared  to  follow  angles 
of  light  of  ninety  degrees  and  one  hundred  and  eighty 
(square  "and  opposition  aspects). 

All  these  influences  are  ascribed  to  the  moment  of 
birth  and  the  time  immediately  following. 

The  angle  which  the  light  of  any  single  planet  formed 
to  the  earth  in  the  latitude  and  longitude  of  birth  is 
said  to  affect  the  being  of  the  child  in  certain  definite 
ways  (as  in  the  first  thirty  degrees  to  produce  secret 


10  INTRODUCTION. 

enemies  of  its  own  nature,  thirty  to  sixty  degrees, 
friends,  etc.). 

We  assume  these  statements  to  be  facts.  Having 
satisfied  ourselves  that  there  is  a  certain  amount  of  truth 
in  them,  for  lack  of  time  we  leave  the  proof  of  the  facts 
to  others. 

Deductions :  It  is  known  that  minerals  crystallize 
on  these  angles.  It  is  known  that  animal  life  originates 
in  microscopic  cells,  at  first  formless,  which  gradually 
go  through  a  process  similar  to  crystallization,  and  that 
in  some  way  in  these  invisible  cells  all  human  qualities 
of  mind  or  body  are  latent.  Let  us  therefore  assume 
that  at  the  moment  of  birth  these  elemental  human  cells 
begin  to  crystallize,  and  that  the  form  of  their  crystalliza- 
tion is  determined  by  the  conditions  of  light,  heat,  elec- 
tricity, or  gravitation  produced  by  heavenly  bodies  at 
the  moment. 

The  crystallization  is  probably  a  progressive  process  ; 
the  first  crystals  determine  the  shape  of  the  body,  the 
ones  formed  later  being  connected  with  qualities  more 
subtle,  which  lie  latent  during  certain  years  until  matur- 
ity brings  them  into  play.  Thus  some  hours  after  birth 
may  be  sown  the  seeds  of  brain  fever  to  occur  in  middle 
life. 

But  is  it  light,  heat,  or  electricity,  or  gravitation 
which  determines  the  mode  of  crystallization,  or  a  com- 
bination of  one  or  more  or  all  ? 

It  may  be  the  condition  of  the  magnetism  of  the 
earth  caused  by  the  angle  which  that  portion  of  the 
earth  forms  to  the  sun.  This  theory  is  supported  by 
the  fact  that  the  sun  is  observed  to  have  certain  influ- 


INTRODUCTION.  11 

ences  when  posited  in  certain  signs  of  the  zodiac.  In 
the  course  of  centuries  the  stars  in  Aries  and  the  other 
signs  have  moved  back  thirty  degrees,  but  the  sign 
which  begins  at  the  vernal  equinox  and  the  others  in 
succession,  have  not  been  observed  to  change  their  influ- 
ence. It  would  therefore  seem  that  the  light  of  the 
stars,  which  had  changed,  was  not  the  fundamental 
cause,  but  the  angle  which  the  sun  formed  to  the  mag- 
netic poles  of  the  earth,  which  had  not  changed. 

It  may  be  the  varying  density  of  the  atmosphere 
caused  by  the  attraction  of  the  heavenly  bodies  for  the 
air  about  the  earth.  Thus,  the  moon  as  it  passes  about 
the  earth  raises  tides.  It  doubtless  also  raises  a  tide 
of  air,  and  the  planets  may  raise  smaller  tides,  thus 
affecting  the  density  of  the  air.  Also  it  is  known  that 
the  point  at  which  minerals  crystallize  is  determined  by 
the  pressure,  among  other  elements.  This  might  pos- 
sibly account  for  the  influence  of  the  sun  and  moon  when 
placed  in  varying  signs  of  the  zodiac ;  but  this  and  the 
preceding  theory  leave  many  things  unaccounted  for. 
The  irregular  effect  of  humidity  in  varying  the  density 
of  the  atmosphere  would  seem  almost  wholly  to  dis- 
countenance the  theory  of  varied  pressure.  Gravitation 
may  act  in  a  more  direct  way,  however,  though  there  is 
far  less  reason  to  suppose  that  gravitation  has  anything 
to  do  with  human  crystallization  than  there  is  for  believ- 
ing light  or  magnetism  to  be  the  controlling  force. 

Light  and  heat  are  merely  varying  lengths  of  ethe- 
real vibration,  and  even  the  chemical  rays  are  essen- 
tially the  same  in  character  as  both  heat  and  light. 
Mineral  crystallization  we  know  depends  on  two  things, 


12  INTRODUCTION. 

pressure  and  temperature ;  that  is,  the  balance  of  the 
expansive  and  repressive  forces.  We  naturally  look  for 
corresponding  elements  in  human  crystallization.  Either 
gravitation,  atmospheric  density,  or  the  magnetic  con- 
dition of  the  earth  (which  of  these.it  would  be  hard  to 
say)  corresponds  to  pressure,  and  we  may  easily  suppose 
that  the  chemical  and  other  rays  correspond  to  heat,  a 
coarser  variety  of  the  same  thing. 

It  is  well  known  that  light  has  a  powerful  influence, 
over  life — the  two  are  often  spoken  of  as  almost  syno- 
nyms. The  healthy  child  must  be  reared  out  of  doors 
in  the  sunlight.  Darkness  invariably  produces  disease, 
even  when  there  is  plenty  of  heat. 

In  recent  experiments  with  the  cathode,  or  so- 
called  X-rays,  the  stimulating  effect  on  animal  life  of 
these  rays  was  noticed  in  several  cases.  A  mouse  which 
had  been  kept  under  water  an  hour  was  resuscitated 
while  being  photographed.  Edison's  young  men  assist- 
ants were  able  to  work  in  these  rays  for  forty-eight 
hours  at  a  time  without  weariness.  Similar  observa- 
tions were  reported  elsewhere.  But  this  only  goes  to 
show  the  tremendous  influence  of  light  on  life — light  in 
all  its  varieties,  from  heat  to  the  invisible  chemical  rays. 

The  process  of  mineral  crystallization  is  this :  When 
the  liquid  or  supersaturated  solution  reaches  a  certain 
temperature  and  condition  of  pressure,  and  the  impulse 
to  crystallize  has  been  given  in  some  way,  geometrical 
crystals  are  formed,  not  at  one  spontaneous  burst,  but 
in  more  or  less  rapid  degrees,  and  the  process  may  be 
arrested  by  the  change  in  temperature  caused  by  heat 
arising  from  the  process  itself. 


INTRODUCTION.  13 

The  child  in  the  womb  may  be  regarded  as  a  mineral 
held  in  solution ;  at  birth  the  impulse  of  crystallization 
is  given  and  the  process  takes  place  during  the  hours 
and  days  immediately  ensuing;  the  beginning  of  the 
process  determines  the  general  direction  or  tendency 
of  the  result,  and  later  effects  take  a  secondary  place,  or 
one  that  manifests  itself  only  when  the  first  crystals  have 
served  their  day  and  given  place  to  maturing  elements 
held  in  check  while  they  existed. 

We  may  suppose  that  the  form  or  nature  of  these 
crystals  is  very  largely  determined  by  the  state  of  vibra- 
tion of  the  ether  in  its  higher  forms.  Chemical  or  other 
rays  coming  at  a  certain  angle  might  harmonize  with 
each  other  easily  and  produce  a  favorable  ethereal 
atmosphere ;  while  rays  coming  at  other  angles  would 
interfere  with  each  other,  either  neutralizing  each  other 
or  producing  irregular  vibrations  of  the  ether. 

Ptolemy  said  that  Saturn  was  cold  and  Mars. was 
hot.  It  may  be  assumed  that  the  rays  coming  from  them 
have  in  the  one  case  a  lower  and  in  the  other  a  greater 
rate  of  vibration  (or  the  reverse)  than  the  mean  most 
favorable  to  human  development,  while  the  benefic 
aspects  of  Jupiter  may  be  the  result  of  the  fact  that  the 
rays  from  him  have  a  medium  rate  of  vibration  most  in 
harmony  with  the  development  of  the  human  crysial. 

It  is  well  known  that  the  character  of  the  light  com- 
ing from  the  various  planets  varies  greatly,  the  light  of 
the  sun  being  most  comprehensive.  Most  of  the  light 
coming  from  the  planets  is  reflected ;  but  what  rays  are 
reflected  and  what  are  absorbed  depends  wholly  on  the 
character  of  the  planet  and  its  atmosphere. 


14  INTRODUCTION. 

Planets  in  conjunction  with  the  sun  are  observed 
to  lend  to  the  light  of  the  sun  their  own  character,  which 
is  in  accord  with  the  general  laws  of  ethereal  vibration. 

There  is  just  one  grave  objection  to  the  light  theory. 
The  position  of  the  signs  of  the  zodiac  and  of  the  sun 
in  relation  to  them  should  mean  the  combined  effect 
of  the  light  of  the  fixed  stars  above  the  earth  at  any 
given  moment.  But  if  by  the  precession  of  the  ecliptic 
the  position  of  the  signs  in  the  heaven  has  changed 
thirty  degrees,  and  no  corresponding  change  of  effect 
of  the  signs  so  altered  has  been  observed,  it  is  obvious 
that  the  light  of  the  stars  originally  in  the  sign  had 
nothing  to  do  with  the  effect  of  the  sign  on  human  life. 
This  strongly  suggests  that  the  second  element  in  human 
crystallization,  corresponding  to  pressure  in  the  case  of 
minerals,  is  the  magnetic  condition  of  the  earth  accord- 
ing to  its  position  in  reference  to  the  sun.  Also  we  know 
that  the  light  of  most  of  the  fixed  stars  is  like  that  of 
the  sun,  and  being  direct  and  comprehensive  is  not  so 
productive  of  variation  as  the  irregularly  reflected  light 
from  the  planets,  including  the  moon.  Still,  the  light 
of  the  stars  at  various  angles,  taking  into  consideration 
that  we  are  dealing  with  the  total  effect  of  all  stars  above 
the  horizon,  may  have  a  combined  effect  which  has  been 
only  slightly  varied  by  the  accident  of  the  change  of  the 
signs  of  the  zodiac,  an  effect  which  has  therefore  not 
been  duly  observed.  But  undoubtedly  we  have  here  a 
strong  argument  for  the  existence  of  some  other  ele- 
ment than  light  rays  in  effecting  crystallization. 


INTRODUCTION.      .  15 

As  far  as  I  am  aware,  the  theory  of  human  crystalli- 
zation has  never  before  been  definitely  presented.  Pto- 
lemy spoke  of  the  various  planets  and  luminaries  as 
being  associated  with  different  degrees  of  heat  and 
humidity.  Thus,  Saturn  was  dry  and  cold,  Mars  dry 
and  hot,  the  sun  dry,  the  moon  moist,  etc. ;  and  likewise 
he  connected  the  winds  coming  from  various  quarters 
with  different  planets  by  a  very  far-fetched  analogy. 
And  he  clearly  states  that  the  moment  of  generation  or 
copulation  must  be  far  more  important  than  the  moment 
of  birth ;  but  since  the  first  is  almost  impossible  to  deter- 
mine, the  latter  has  to  be  taken  for  convenience  as  the 
starting  point.  Evidently  human  crystallization  had 
never  entered  his  mind. 

Heredity  has  been  so  much  talked  of  in  recent  years 
that  one  of  the  best  modern  writers,  Mr.  Hiram  Butler, 
author  of  "Solar  Biology,"  tries  to  account  for  every 
characteristic  by  the  condition  of  the  minds  of  the  par- 
ents at  the  time  immediately  preceding  birth.  In  the 
first  place,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  he  never  had  the  slightest 
opportunity  to  observe  how  the  minds  of  the  parents 
were  directed  at  the  time  of  birth.  And  besides  that, 
what  we  know  of  heredity  would  lead  us  to  believe  that 
the  molding  forces  begin  to  operate  long  before  the 
time  of  birth,  and  at  times  sa  very  various  and  from 
causes  so  diverse  that  one  could  by  no  stretch  of  imagi- 
nation connect  them  with  the  merely  momentary  posi- 
tions of  planets  at  the  instant  of  birth. 

If  we  adopt  the  theory  of  crystallization,  it  will 
scarcely  be  possible  to  go  farther  in  definite  knowledge. 
All  the  other  matters  I  have  mentioned  are  merely  analo- 


16  INTRODUCTION. 

gies  to  give  vrai-semblance  to  the  theory  as  a  good 
working  hypothesis.  And  while  looking  for  analogies, 
it  would  be  well  to  consider  the  very  interesting  phe- 
nomena of  the  interference  and  polarization  of  light. 
Two  reflected  rays  coming  to  a  single  point  from  mir- 
rors a  little  less  than  180  degrees  apart  produce  on  a 
screen  bands  of  darkness  alternating  with  bands  of 
light ;  that  is,  at  certain  points  the  two  rays  destroy  each 
other.  Doubtless  the  light  from  planets  in  opposition 
or  conjunction  would  exhibit  the  same  phenomena.  It 
is  well  known  that  the  process  of  crystallization — that  is, 
the  arrangement  of  the  molecules  of  a  substance  in  cer- 
tain regular  orders — is  easily  interfered  with.  For  in- 
stance, if  water  is  violently  agitated  it  may  be  reduced 
several  degrees  below  the  freezing  point  before  it  con- 
geals. The  same  is  true  if  it  is  left  absolutely  quiet. 

The  interference  of  polarized  light  is  even  more 
interesting  than  that  of  ordinary  light,  for  by  its  aid 
beautiful  and  varying  bands  of  color  are  produced. 
Moreover,  when  light  is  reflected  from  a  polarized  sur- 
face, polarization  is  complete  only  when  the  beam  comes 
from  a  fixed  angle,  the  angle  of  polarization. 

What  subtle  qualities  the  particles  in  a  human  crystal 
may  receive  from  light  coming  to  it  from  two  sources  at 
an  angle  of  sixty  degrees  or  one  hundred  and  twenty, 
human  ingenuity  will  never  penetrate  in  all  probability ; 
and  yet  we  have  quite  as  much  chance  of  confirming 
our  theory  as  we  had  for  confirming  the  theory  that 
light  is  a  transversal  vibration  of  an  invisible  ether. 
Ether  is  but  a  theory ;  and  human  crystallization  may  be 
quite  as  good  a  theory  for  purposes  of  investigating  the

strange  effects  produced  on  human  character  by  posi- 
tions and  combinations  of  heavenly  bodies. 

If  this  theory  is  adopted  it  will  be  observed  that  it 
makes  no  place  for  horary  astrology ;  that  it  does  not 
account  for  the  happening  of  events,  but  clearly  recog- 
nizes that  there  is  an  outside  series  of  influences  wholly 
disconnected  with  the  stars — or  no  more  connected  than 
everything  in  life  is  connected  with  everything  else,  for 
there  is  no  force  but  is  directly  or  indirectly  convertible 
into  any  other.  Thus  the  theory  of  evolution  and  hered- 
ity is  not  in  the  least  interfered  with,  while  we  have  a 
wonderful  explanation  for  the  acknowledged  differences 
of  individuals  born  under  the  same  external  influences. 
We  thus  have  in  astrology  an  explanation  of  human 
individuality;  at  least  we  get  a  glimpse  of  the  individ- 
ualizing forces,  while  our  studies  in  the  past  have  been 
chiefly  of  unifying  forces. 

Note.  Dr.  J.  Heber  Smith,  writing  in  the  Arena,  calls  at- 
tention to  the  fact  that  if  a  metal  disc  is  supported  at  the  cen- 
ter and  is  made  to  vibrate  by  a  violin  bow,  it  vibrates  in  sec- 
dons  of  thirty  degrees,  as  may  be  seen  by  sand  springledoverit. 


CHAPTER  I. 

PTOLEMY  AND   MODERN   SCIENCE. 

Astrology  seems  to  have  made  no  progress  since  the 
days  of  Claudius  Ptolemaeus,  who  wrote  nearly  two 
thousand  years  ago,  and  his  "Tetrabiblos"  is  undoubt- 
edly the  best  text-book  on  the  subject  existing  today. 
Modern  astrologers,  notably  Kepler,  have  introduced 
some  changes,  and  made  large  claims,  which  Ptolemy 
did  not  venture  to  do.  He  said  specifically  that  the 
science  of  astrology  does  not  enable  any  man  to  predict 
particular  events,  and  there  are  certain  things  which  no 
rational  man  would  think  of  foretelling.  His  method  of 
prediction  was  precisely  that  of  the  modern  doctor,  who 
says  that  a  disease  will  run  a  certain  length  of  time,  that 
a  certain  constitution  must  have  care  or  it  will  break 
down,  that  from  external  appearances  one  man  should 
make  a  good  blacksmith,  another  a  good  orator,  and 
so  forth.  The  positions  of  the  stars  help  us  to  analyze 
more  subtle  physical  conditions,  not  subject  to  external 
observation.  But  the  whole  ground  of  prediction  is 
simply  a  knowledge  of  the  physical,  mental  and  moral 
condition  of  a  human  being  from  birth.  If  we  know 
that  the  germs  of  hereditary  consumption  exist  in  a 
child  from  birth,  we  can  predict  that  he  will  die  of  the 
disease,  and  may  judge  the  time  with  tolerable  accuracy. 
And  if  we  know  the  mode  of  crystallization,  we  have  as 
it  were  a  chart  of  latent  germs. 


20  ASTROLOGY. 

Ptolemy  seems  to  have  been  kiterested  in  astrology 
first  of  all  and  chiefly  as  a  means  of  predicting  .the 
weather.  What  truth  there  may  be  in  that  branch  of 
the  subject  I  have  never  had  time  to  investigate ;  but  I 
judge  that  Ptolemy  hit  it  about  as  often  as  the  govern- 
ment meteorological  bureau  today.  His  next  source  of 
interest  came  from  the  fact  that  astrology  was  generally 
used  by  physicians ;  and  indeed  it  has  been  used  by  this 
profession  until  very  recently.  From  this  he  proceeded 
to  character,  and  the  inferences  that  may  be  drawn  from 
a  knowledge  of  character  as  to  future  conditions  of 
health,  wealth,  success  in  business,  marriage,  etc. 

Ptolemy  explained  everything  by  temperature  and 
humidity.  He  had  a  mass  of  observation  before  him. 
From  this  he  developed  his  rational  theory,  which  was 
to  explain  everything  by  temperature  and  moisture  in 
analogy  with  the  change  of  the  seasons,  and  he  admitted 
nothing  that  did  not  square  with  his  theory,  and  no 
doubt  he  drew  inferences  from  the  theory  as  to  what 
the  facts  ought  to  be. 

But  every  branch  of  science  has  made  such  tremen- 
dous progress  since  Ptolemy's  day,  that  I  assume  that 
if  he  were  living  now  he  would  entirely  recast  his  theory, 
correct  his  methods  of  procedure,  discard  certain  ele- 
ments, adopt  others,  and  so  bring  the  "Tetrabiblos"  up 
to  date.  As  (for  certain  apparent  reasons)  he  is  unable 
to  do  this  work,  I  have  presumed  to  attempt  the  task. 
I  know  something  of  modern  scientific  facts  and  theo- 
ries, and  I  take  it  for  granted  that  Ptolemy  was  an 
authority  on  ancient  astrology.  So  between  Ptolemy 
and  modern  science,  I  trust  the  reader  may  be  interested. 


ASTROLOGY.  21 

It  may  be  objected  that  the  microscope  has  not  yet 
revealed  any  minute  crystals  in  protoplasm,  but  that 
primary  cells  seem  to  be  constructed  on  a  basis  of  their 
own.  My  reply  is  that  no  one  has  seen  molecules,  much 
less  atoms.  But  the  theory  that  they  exist  is  the  best 
explanation,  of  the  facts  before  us.  So  I  say  that  the 
assumption  that  human  beings  crystallize  at  birth  much 
as  minerals  crystallize,  accounts  for  the  actually  observed 
facts  of  astrology  better  than  any  other  theory  we  are 
able  to  evolve.  No  doubt  in  two  thousand  years  this 
theory  will  be  as  antiquated  as  Ptolemy's  of  temperature 
and  humidity.  But  in  the  meantime  I  trust  it  will  have 
served  its  purpose. 

For  the  purposes  of  our  theory  I  assume  that  before 
birth  the  child  is  like  a  saturated  solution,  and  that  its 
first  gasp  after  birth  sets  the  process  of  crystallization 
to  going,  and  this  process  continues  for  several  weeks". 
A  multitude  of  minute  crystals  are  formed,  one  on  top 
of  the  other,  of  course  most  rapidly  at  the  moment  of 
birth  and  during  the  minutes  and  hours  immediately 
succeeding,  and  then  less  slowly  during  the  three  months 
following.  These  crystals  are  perhaps  arranged  in 
cylindrical  groups,  and  in  the  course  of  time  become 
flattened  out.  The  baby,  we  know,  is  round  in  every 
limb  and  feature,  while  the  old  man  finds  that  eyeballs, 
bone,  muscle,  are  flattened.  This  flattening  process, 
may  bring  the  successive  sets  of  crystals  into  play,  so 
that  the  crystals  formed  an  hour,  a  week,  or  a  month 
after  birth  would  come  into  play  at  corresponding  peri- 
ods later  in  life.  It  seems  probable  that  all  the  chief 
crystals  are  formed  on  the  first  day,  and  these  are  modi- 


22  ASTROLOGY. 

fied  or  remodified  on  the  succeeding  days.  Or  still 
more  likely,  the  chief  crystals  are  formed  within  a  few 
minutes  of  birth,  and  receive  their  corresponding  modi- 
fications as  the  earth  turns  on  its  axis,  or  (as  it  appeared 
to  the  ancient)  as  the  heavenly  bodies  rise  and  set. 

Furthermore,  I  conceive  that  crystallization  is  most 
rapid  while  the  sun  is  shining,  and  also  that  the  moon 
helps  very  materially  in  the  process.  So  if  a  child  is 
born  at  midnight  the  crystallization  proceeds  very  slowly 
until  dawn,  and  he  develops  his  powers  correspondingly 
late  in  life.  The  best  time  to  be  born  would  therefore 
be  in  the  morning,  and  it  is  remarkable  that  a  very 
large  proportion  of  eminent  men  were  born  during  the 
forenoon,  as  for  instance,  Napoleon,  Gladstone,  Dumas, 
Frederick  the  Great,  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds,  George 
Washington,  S.  T.  Coleridge — to  take  a  variety  of  char- 
acters at  random,  whose  horoscopes  I  happen  to  have 
before  me. 


CHAPTER  II. 

THE  NECESSARY  KNOWLEDGE  OF  ASTRONOMY. 

Only  an  elementary  knowledge  of  astronomy  is 
necessary  in  order  to  cast  a  horoscope.  As  every  one 
knows,  the  sun  is  the  center  of  the  solar  system,  and 
about  it  revolve  seven  major  planets  (Mercury,  Venus, 
Mars,  Jupiter,  Saturn,  Uranus  and  Neptune),  besides 
the  earth.  There  are  some  unimportant  smaller  ones 
also.  They  all  move  round  the  sun  at  different  rates 
of  speed,  Mercury  getting  around  most  quickly,  and 
Neptune  least.  They  all  move  in  the  same  direction,  and 
in  a  tolerably  fixed  plane  called  the  ecliptic,  the  circle 
of  which  is  divided  into  twelve  equal  spaces  called  the 
Signs  of  the  Zodiac.  The  point  in  the  heavens  where 
the  sun  appears  to  be  when  it  crosses  the  equator  on 
its  journey  northward  (in  March)  is  taken  as  a  fixed 
point  to  count  from,  and  is  called  Aries.  It  changes 
slightly  from  year  to  year,  but  only  a  very  little.  And 
it  will  be  observed  that  it  is  both  on  the  equator  and  on 
the  ecliptic.  The  plane  passing  through  the  equator  is 
a  fixed  plane  in  the  heavens  (that  is,  very  nearly  fixed), 
and  the  plane  of  the  ecliptic,  that  is  of  the  zodiac,  which 
is  another  fixed  plane  in  the  heavens,  forms  an  angle  to 
it  of  23°  27',  or  thereabout,  and  they  both  pass  through 
the  center  of  the  earth,  and  cut  each  other  on  a  straight 
line,  at  one  end  of  which  is  the  first  point  of  Aries,  and 
at  the  other  end  the  first  point  of  Libra.  In  the  sky  as 

23 


24  ASTROLOGY. 

we  see  it  at  any  point  on  the  earth,  the  equator  is  a. 
curve  parallel  to  that  which  the  sun  appears  to  take  in 
passing  from  sunrise  to  sunset.  In  winter  the  sun  is 
south  of  it,  and  the  number  of  degrees  north  or  south 
is  called  the  declination.  On  the  days  of  the  equinoxes, 
twice  a  year,  the  sun  passes  directly  along  the  line  of. 
the  equator  in  the  sky  as  it  appears  to  us.  Of  course 
the  daily  movement  of  the  moon  and  planets  is  like  that 
of  the  sun,  and  their  distance  north  or  south  of  the 
equator  is  their  declination. 

But  the  movement  of  the  sun  and  planets  from  day 
to  day,  week  to  week,  month  to  month,  is  along  the  line 
of  the  ecliptic,  and  the  curve  of  the  ecliptic  as  we  see 
it  in  the  heavens  appears  to  be  very  erratic.  On  the 
two  equinoctial  days  the  sun  rises  at  the  first  point  of 
Aries  and  the  first  point  of  Libra,  exactly  on  the  equator^ 
and  exactly  in  the  middle  of  the  eastern  horizon  and  sets 
exactly  in  the  west,  and  on  such  days  at  sunrise  or  sunset 
the  ecliptic  forms  an  arch  like  the  equator,  only  higher 
or  lower.  At  the  spring  equinox  it  will  curve  over  the 
equator  at  sunrise  and  below  at  sunset.  But  in  the 
summer  the  sun  rises  farther  around  to  the  north,  and 
also  sets  farther  to  the  north,  so  traveling  considerably 
more  than  half  way  round  the  horizon;  but  as  the 
farther  it  has  to  travel  the  longer  it  takes,  so  the  days  are 
longer  when  it  rises  north  of  the  eastern  point  and 
sets  north  of  the  western  than  they  are  when  it  rises 
and  sets  south.  The  differences  in  the  lengths  of  the 
arcs  which  the  sun  describes  at  various  seasons  of  the 
year  are  called  the  ascensional  differences,  and  depend 
on  the  latitude. 


ASTROLOGY.  25 

Now  every  point  in  the  zodiac  corresponding  to 
the  position  of  the  sun  in  the  zodiac  at  various  times 
in  the  year,  will  rise  and  set  all  the  year  round  just  as 
the  sun  rises  and  sets  on  the  different  days.  So  some 
signs  of  the  zodiac  in  these  north  latitudes  (and  the 
reverse  is  true  in  the  southern)  are  above  the  horizon 
no  longer  than  the  sun  is  in  mid-winter,  and  others  are 
above  the  horizon  as  long  as  the  sun  in  mid-summer, 
and  if  planets  happen  to  be  in  Cancer,  for  instance,  they 
too  rise  early  and  set  late. 

We  are  now  prepared  to  erect  a  horoscope.  There 
are  two  ways  in  which  we  may  do  it,  first  by  taking 
the  sun  as  a  center,  and  second  by  taking  the  earth  as 
a  center.  The  first  is  called  heliocentric  (from  the 
Greek  meaning  sun-center),  and  the  second  geocentric 
(from  the  Greek  meaning  earth-center). 

Ptolemy  supposed  the  heavenly  bodies  all  revolved 
around  the  earth,  and  of  course  he  knew  nothing  about 
a  heliocentric  astrology.  As,  however,  most  of  our 
light  and  heat  comes  from  the  sun,  it  is  clear  that  the 
condition  of  the  light  coming  from  the  sun  must  be 
very  important.  No  doubt  the  positions  of  the  planets 
about  the  sun  do  much  to  determine  this  condition. 
We  shall  do  well,  therefore,  to  consider  the  heliocentric 
horoscope  first.  This  is  more  easily  calculated  than 
the  geocentric,  and  furnishes  us  a  convenient  method 
of  calculating  the  geocentric  afterward.  Most  books 
on  astrology  require  references  to  an  astrological  al- 
manac for  the  geocentric  positions  of  the  planets ;  but 
such  an  almanac  is  very  expensive,  and  the  chart  pub- 
lished in  this  book  furnishes  an  easy  way  of  calculating 


SQUARE

CIRCLE  OF  THE  ECLIPTIC 
FI0.1 


ASTROLOGY.  27 

the  positions  for  ourselves  within  a  degree,  which  is 
sufficiently  accurate. 

The  astronomical  calculations  required  by  astrology 
are  by  no  means  easy.  It  would  be  a  boon  to  the  aver- 
age reader  if  some  learned  astronomer,  with  all  his 
tables  and  books  at  hand,  would  make  the  mathematical 
and  astronomical  calculations  for  us.  Such  a  person 
might  establish  a  bureau  that  would  furnish  these  cal- 
culations, made  with  perfect  accuracy,  and  at  an  ex- 
pense of  but  a  few  cents,  and  thereby  save  us  much 
time  and  study.  But  until  such  a  bureau  is  established 
we  must  patiently  work  out  the  calculations  as  best 
we  can. 

To  cast  a  horoscope  we  must  know  the  year,  month, 
day,  and  hour  of  birth,  and  the  latitude  and  longitude 
of  the  place  of  birth.  The  latitude  and  longitude  may 
be  found  by  looking  in  a  map,  in  which  the  longitude  will 
be  found  at  the  top  of  the  page  and  the  latitude  at  the 
side.  Take  the  longitude  west  from  Greenwich,  not 
from  Washington.  If  the  hour  is  not  known,  take  some 
convenient  hour  in  the  part  of  the  day  in  which  the 
birth  occurred.  If  nothing  is  known  beyond  the  day 
of  birth,  all  calculations  based  on  the  houses  will  have 
to  be  omitted. 

First,  let  us  see  how  to  erect  a  heliocentric  horo- 
scope. 

We  will  draw  a  circle  and  place  the  sun  in  the  cen- 
ter. The  circumference  we  will  divide  into  twelve  equal 
parts,  and  mark  each  part  with  one  of  the  signs  of  the 
zodiac,  as  in  Fig.  I. 

To  fix  the  position  of  the  earth,  we  must  look  oppo- 


28  ASTROLOGY. 

site  the  date  of  birth  in  the  table  (No.  i)  giving  the 
longitude  of  the  sun  for  any  year.  This  longitude  is 
the  same  within  a  degree  on  a  given  day  each  year. 
The  position  of  the  earth  will  be  180  degrees  from  that 
of  the  sun,  and  may  therefore  be  found  by  adding  180 
degrees  to  the  longitude  of  the  sun  if  that  longitude  is 
less  than  180  degrees,  or  subtracting  180  degrees  if  the 
longitude  of  the  sun  is  more  than  180  degrees.  Write 
this  position  of  the  earth  in  the  chart,  using  the  sign  of 
the  zodiac  and  the  number  of  degrees  in  that  sign. 
This  may  readily  be  seen  by  looking  for  the  longitude 
of  the  earth  in  Table  8,  and  taking  the  degrees  of  the  zo- 
diacal sign  in  the  adjoining  column. 

To  find  the  positions  of  the  planets,  look  first  for 
the  longitude  of  the  given  planet  on  the  first  of  Janu- 
ary next  preceding  or  next  following  the  date  of  birth, 
whichever  is  nearest  (see  Table  7).  Then  count  the 
exact  number  of  days  from  the  day  of  birth  to  Jan.  i. 
In  the  table  giving  the  longitude  of  Mercury  for  one 
cycle  of  its  orbit  (Table  4),  find  the  longitude  given 
for  Jan.  i.  Then  count  backward  or  forward,  according 
as  the  Jan.  i  selected  is  before  or  after  the  date  of  birth, 
as  many  days  as  you  have  found  to  intervene  between 
Jan.  i  and  the  date  of  birth.  When  you  have  counted 
to  the  end  without  exhausting  your  days,  go  back  to  the 
beginning  and  keep  on  counting  until  you  have  reached 
the  day  required.  The  longitude  in  the  table  opposite 
this  day  will  be  the  longitude  of  Mercury  required.  In 
case  the  hour  of  birth  is  not  near  Greenwich  noon,  a  slight 
correction  should  be  made  to  the  longitude  given  in  the 
table.  Greenwich  noon  will  be  (if  you  are  born  in  the 


ASTROLOGY.  29 

United  States)  several  hours  earlier  than  your  noon. 
Just  how  many  may  be  found  by  dividing  the  longitude 
of  the  place  of  birth  by  15,  since  the  sun  rises  just  fifteen 
degrees  in  the  sky  each  hour.  Thus,  noon  in  longitude 
75°  will  be  five  hours  later  than  noon  at  Greenwich,  for 
which  all  calculations  are  made.  Therefore  noon  at. 
Greenwich  will  be  at  seven  o'clock  in  the  morning.  If 
you  were  born  at  or  near  seven  o'clock,  no  correction 
will  be  needed.  But  if  the  hour  of  birth  is,  say,  seven 
o'clock  in  the  evening,  an  additional  half  day  will  have 
passed,  and  you  should  take  a  longitude  half  way  be- 
tween the  longitude  for  the  day  you  have  found  and  the 
next  day.  So  if  the  time  is  any  other  number  of  hours, 
take  the  proper  proportion  of  the  change  for  24  hours 
and  add  or  subtract,  as  the  case  may  be. 

The  position  of  Venus  may  be  found  in  the  same 
way,  but  an  additional  difficulty  appears.  It  takes 
Venus  224  days  and  nearly  17  hours  to  make  one  revo- 
lution around  the  sun.  So  if  you  have  to  count  past  the 
end  of  a  cycle  back  to  the  beginning  again  you  will  have 
about  two  thirds  of  a  day  over.  So  to  the  longitude 
given  in  the  table  in  a  case  like  that  you  must  add  the 
correction  given  at  the  end  (see  Table  5). 

The  positions  of  the  other  planets  will  be  found 
more  easily.  No  corrections  for  hours  need  be  made 
with  any  of  them,  since  their  motion  is  so  slow  that  the 
change  in  a  few  hours  does  not  amount  to  much. 

As  before,  find  the  longitude  in  the  table  of  longi- 
tudes for  the  nearest  first  of  January  (Table  7).  Count 
the  number  of  days  to  the  date  of  birth. 

In  a  column  adjoining  the  longitude  you  will  find 


ASTROLOGY. 

the  daily  motion  of  the  planet  for  the  same  day.  You 
will  see  that  it  is  either  more  or  less  than  the  next  fol- 
lowing year.  It  usually  varies  in  regular  proportion 
from  year  to  year,  and  the  daily  motion  at  the  date  of 
birth  may  be  found  by  adding  to  or  subtracting  from 
•the  motion  on  Jan.  i  that  proportion  of  the  change  in 
the  daily  motion  which  your  number  of  days  from  Jan. 
j  bears  to  365  days.  The  average  daily  motion  for  the 
period  you  are  calculating  may  be  found  by  adding  the 
daily  motion  for  Jan.  i  and  that  found  for  the  date  of 
birth,  and  dividing  by  2.  Thus,  if  the  daily  motion  of 
Mars  is  found  to  be  38'  on  Jan.  I,  1887,  and  26'  on  Jan. 
I,  1888,  and  you  wish  to  find  the  daily  motion  for  Nov. 
I,  you  subtract  26  from  38,  leaving  12;  then  as  ten 
months  intervene  between  Jan.  i  and  Nov.  i,  you  take 
ten  twelfths  of  12,  or  10.  Subtract  10  from  38,  leaving 
28,  and  you  have  the  daily  motion  on  Nov.  i.  The  aver- 
age daily  motion  for  the  period  of  time  between  Jan.  i, 
1888  (the  nearest  Jan.  i)  and  Nov.  i,  will  be  26  plus  28 
divided  by  2  equals  27.  Multiply  61  days,  the  number 
between  Nov.  i  and  Jan.  i,  by  27  and  you  have  the  num- 
ber of  minutes  the  planet  had  moved  in  this  time.  As 
there  are  60  minutes  in  a  degree,  you  find  the  number 
of  degrees  by  dividing  your  total  by  60.  In  this  case 
you  have  a  very  small  fraction  over  28  degrees.  Sub- 
tract 28  degrees  from  the  longitude  of  Mars  on  Jan.  i, 
1888,  and  you  have  the  true  longitude  for  Nov.  i,  1887. 
(The  position  of  Mars  may  be  calculated  more  accu- 
rately, however,  by  means  of  Table  6.) 

The  positions  of  all  the  other  planets  may  be  found

in  exactly  the  same  way.  As  a  general  thing,  the  aver- 
age daily  motion  may  be  computed  mentally. 

We  now  have  our  heliocentric  horoscope  complete, 
and  may  proceed  to  draw  deductions  from  the  various 
angles  which  the  planets  make  with  each  other  and  with 
the  earth. 

We  will  next  proceed  to  erect  the  geocentric  horo- 
scope. This  may  be  done  approximately  by  means  of 
the  two  charts.* 

The  chart  showing  the  orbits  of  the  earth,  Mars, 
Venus,  and  Mercury  givefe  the  correct  eccentricities 
of  these  orbits.  By  the  preceding  calculations  you  have^ 
determined  the  exact  longitude  of  each  of  the  planets 
with  regard  to  the  sun.  Pass  a  ruler  or  straight  edge 
from  the  center  to  the  required  degree  in  the  outer  cir- 
cle, and  mark  the  orbit  of  the  given  planet  where  the 
edge  of  the  ruler  intersects  it. 

Then  put  a  long  needle  through  the  center  of  the 
Geocentric  Circle,  and  stick  the  point  of  the  pin  into 
the  point  you  have  marked  as  the  position  of  the  earth. 
See  that  the  cross  line  of  the  geocentric  circle  is 
exactly  parallel  with  any  of  the  cross  lines  in  the  chart. 
This  may  be  tested  by  noting  whether  the  gauge  shows 
the  same  distance  between  the  two  lines  at  either  end  as 
it  does  in  the  middle.  Now  stick  another  pin  into  the 
geocentric  circle  so  as  to  keep  it  firmly  in  place,  and 
pass  a  ruler  from  the  earth  center  to  the  point  where 
any  given  planet  is  located.  Read  the  geocentric  longi- 

*Before  using-  these  charts  it  would  be  well  to  mount  them 
carefully  on  cardboard.  The  Geocentric  Circle  may  also  be 
mounted  on  light  cardboard,  and  the  small  space  near  the 
middle  guage  should  be  neatly  cut  out.

tude  on  the  circumference  of  the  geocentric  circle.  If 
the  geocentric  circle  covers  up  the  position  of  any  planet 
so  that  it  cannot  be  seen,  take  it  off  and  pass  a  ruler 
from  the  earth  center  to  the  position  of  the  planet,  and 
make  another  mark  along  the  edge  of  the  ruler  at  any 
convenient  point  that  can  be  seen  when  the  geocentric 
circle  is  laid  on  the  chart.  This  new  point  will  do  as 
well  in  determining  the  geocentric  longitude  as  the 
position  of  the  planet  itself,  and  the  longitude  may  be 
found  by  passing  a  ruler  from  the  earth  center  to  this 
point,  and  reading  the  degrees  at  the  point  the  ruler 
crosses  the  geocentric  circle. 

The  chart  for  Jupiter,  Saturn,  Uranus  and  Neptune 
may  be  used  in  the  same  way,  except  that  the  earth 
circle  is  made  to  vary  in  size,  while  the  orbit  of  the  dif- 
ferent planets  remains  the  same  and  is  identical  with  the 
circle  of  degrees.  Locate  each  planet  in  its  proper  de- 
gree in  this  outer  circle.  Then  find  the  longitude  of 
the  earth,  and  pass  a  ruler  from  it  to  the  sun  center. 
Make  a  light  mark  at  each  place  the  ruler  crosses  the 
small  inner  circles.  To  find  the  geocentric  position  of 
Jupiter,  place  the  geocentric  circle  on  the  earth  center 
marked  on  the  larger  of  the  inner  circles,  and  proceed  as 
with  the  other  chart.  To  find  Saturn,  place  the  geocen- 
tric circle  on  the  earth  center  marked  in  the  next  largest 
circle,  etc. 

We  now  have  the  geocentric  longitude  of  all  the 
planets.  The  longitude  of  the  sun  may  be  found  ap- 
proximately by  looking  in  the  table  of  the  sun's  longi- 
tude opposite  the  day  of  the  month  of  birth.  We  may 
find  the  geocentric  position  of  the  moon  in  much  the

same  way  that  we  found  the  heliocentric  positions  of  the 
planets.  The  nioon  revolves  around  the  earth  once  in 
27  days,  7  hours  and  43  minutes.  In  Table  3 
we  may  find  the  longitude  of  the  moon  for  two 
different  dates  in  each  year.  Find  the  number  of  days 
between  the  date  of  birth  and  the  nearest  given  longi- 
tude. Then  enter  the  table  of  the  longitude  of  the  moon 
for  one  cycle  (Table  2),  and  find  the  longitude  given  for 
the  nearest  date,  and  count  forward  if  the  date  of  birth 
follows  the  selected  date,  or  backward  if  the  date  of 
birth  precedes  the  selected  date,  till  you  have  counted 
as  many  days  as  intervene.  You  will  remember  that 
each  time  you  pass  the  end  of  the  cycle  and  go  back 
to  the  beginning  and  vice  versa,  you  must  add  the  cor- 
rection. Then  find  the  proportion  of  the  change  in 
longitude  for  one  day  that  corresponds  to  the  number 
of  hours  before  or  after  actual  noon  at  Greenwich  and 
add  or  subtract  that.  As  the  moon  changes  so  rapidly, 
the  calculation  should  be  made  to  the  exact  hour. 

Before  entering  our  longitudes  in  a  circle  or  chart, 
we  must  determine  the  houses. 

Draw  a  circle  with  the  earth  at  the  center.  Divide 
this  into  twelve  equal  parts  of  30  degrees  each  by  draw- 
ing lines  from  the  center  to  the  circumference  (see  Fig. 
2).  We  are  now  ready  to  place  the  longitude  of  the 
point  of  the  zodiac  ascending  at  the  moment  of  birtli, 
and  it  should  be  written  on  the  line  that  points  to  the 
middle  of  the  left  hand  side.  From  this  we  pass  down 
and  around  to  the  right,  then  over  to  the  left  again,  ex- 
actly in  the  opposite  direction  to  the  hands  of  a  watch. 
The  sun  and  planets  by  the  daily  motion  of  the  earth 


ASTROLOGY.  35 

appear  to  move  through  the  heavens  in  the  opposite  di- 
rection, or  the  same  as  the  hands  of  a  watch.  Their 
yearly  motion  is  the  same  as  the  signs  of  the  zodiac. 

Under  the  head  "sidereal  time"  in  Table  I,  you 
will  find  the  sidereal  time  (or  star  time)  for  each  day 
in  one  year.  Owing  to  the  variations  in  the  lengths  of 
the  different  years  caused  by  leap  year,  the  sidereal 
time  each  year  is  slightly  different;  but  given  the  right 
starting  point,  it  proceeds  each  year  in  the  same  ratio, 
as  may  be  seen  in  the  table.  In  another  table  (No.  7) 
you  will  find  the  sidereal  time  for  Jan.  I  of  each  year. 
Find  the  nearest  sidereal  time  given  in  the  table  of  side- 
real time  to  that  for  Jan.  I,  noting  the  exact  amount  of 
the  difference,  whether  more  or  less.  Then  count  the 
number  of  days  between  Jan.  I  and  the  date  of  birth. 
Opposite  the  last  day  you  will  find  the  sidereal  time 
required.  To  this  add  (or  subtract)  the  difference  noted 
at  the  beginning.  You  may  also  make  a  correction  for 
the  difference  between  sidereal  time  and  mean  time  cor- 
responding to  the  hours  before  or  after  Greenwich 
noon.  After  that  slight  correction  has  been 
made  (always  amounting  to  less  than  four  minutes) 
add  to  or  subtract  from  the  total  sidereal  time  the  hours 
and  minutes  of  the  moment  of  birth  before  or  after  noon 
at  the  place  of,  your  birth.  (Be  careful  not  to  take 
Greenwich  noon  in  this  case.  The  sidereal  time  given 
is  for  noon  at  the  point  of  your  birth.)  The  result  will 
be  the  true  sidereal  time  for  the  hour  of  your  birth. 

The  tables  (No.  12)  of  houses  for  three  different  lati- 
tudes in  the  United  States  are  given  at  the  back  of  this 
book.  Select  the  table  for  the  latitude  nearest  your  own

latitude.  Find  the  sidereal  time  of  the  hour  of  your 
birth,  and  opposite  you  will  find  the  longitude  of  the 
cusps  (or  beginnings)  of  six  of  the  twelve  houses.  The 
longitude  of  the  cusps  of  the  other  six  may  be  found 
by  taking  the  same  number  of  degrees  in  the  sign  op- 
posite each  of  the  first  six,  and  placing  on  the  cusp  that 
comes  directly  opposite.  The  signs  that  are  opposite 
may  be  seen  in  Fig.  I.  You  will  note,  also,  that  some- 
times  signs  are  intercepted.  Thus  in  Fig.  5  the  sign  of 
SI  is  intercepted  between  the  sign  of  25  and  the  sign  of 
1% .  This  means  that  the  intercepted  sign  is  wholly  in- 
cluded in  the  house  in  which  it  occurs,  while  the  house 
also  takes  in  parts  of  two  other  signs. 

The  circle  before  us  represents  the  circle  of  the 
heavens  passing  directly  over  our  heads  through  the 
zenith,  and  directly  under  the  earth.  The  ascendant 
represents  the  point  rising  in  the  east  at  the  moment 
of  birth,  and  the  cusp  opposite  the  ascendant,  or  the 
beginning  of  the  seventh  house,  represents  the  point 
setting  in  the  west  at  the  moment  of  birth. 

We  still  have  one  more  matter  to  determine,  and  that 
is  the  declination  of  the  sun  and  various  planets. 

The  sun  is  supposed  to  have  no  latitude.  Its  declina- 
tion is  practically  the  same  each  year,  and  may  be  found 
in  the  column  adjoining  the  longitude  given  for  each 
day  of  the  year  (Table  4).  The  declination  of  the  moon 
and  planets  differ  from  that  of  the  sun  for  any  given 
longitude  (geocentric  longitude  alone,  is  to  be  consid- 
ered) only  to  the  amount  of  their  latitude.  The  latitude 
of  the  moon  and  planets  is  the  number  of  degrees  by 


ASTROLOGY.  3? 

which  the  plane  of  their  orbit  differs  from  the  plane  of 
the  ecliptic. 

To  find  the  declination  of  any  planet  or  the  moon, 
take  the  degrees  of  geocentric  longitude  and  look  for 
the  nearest  corresponding  longitude  of  the  sun.  Note 
the  declination  of  the  sun  given  opposite  this  longitude, 
and  whether  it  is  plus  or  minus.  Add  (in'  the  algebraic 
sense)  this  declination  and  about  half*  the  latitude  for 
the  date  of  birth.  By  algebraic  sense,  we  mean  that  you 
must  notice  the  marks  of  plus  and  minus.  If  both  are 
plus  or  both  are  minus,  you  add  the  two  numbers  to- 
gether and  give  the  sum  the  same  mark  of  plus  or 
minus  that  the  two  added  had.  If  one  is  plus  and  one 
is  minus,  the  algebraic  sum  is  equal  to  the  difference  of 
the  two  numbers,  to  which  you  must  give  the  plus  or 
minus  mark  of  the  larger  of  the  two. 

The  latitude  of  the  planets  is  given  for  Jan.  i,  and  to 
find  the  latitude  for  the  date  of  birth  you  must  add  or 
subtract  the  proportion  of  the  difference  representing 
the  change  for  one  year  in  order  to  find  the  true  latitude 

The  latitude  of  the  moon  and  the  planets  Mercury 
and  Venus  may  be  found  more  accurately  by  taking  the 
latitude  given  in  the  table  with  the  longitudes  for  the 
nearest  Jan.  i  or  other  date,  and  entering  the  table  giv- 
ing the  longitude  and  latitude  for  a  single  cycle.  Find 
the  given  latitude  and  count  the  number  of  days  inter- 
vening between  Jan.  i  or  other  given  date  and  the  date 


*It  is  difficult  to  get  the  declination  very  exactly  in  this  way, 
because  the  apparent  declination  as  seen  from  the  earth  is  vari- 
ously affected  by  the  latitude.  If  the  exact  declination  is  desired, 
it  is  advisable  to  refer  to  the  Nautical  Almanac  of  the  date  of 
birth. 


38  ASTROLOGY. 

of  birth.  The  latitude  opposite  the  last  day  will  be  the 
correct  latitude.  You  would  think  that  the  latitude 
should  be  the  same  for  each  succeeding  revolufion  of  a 
given  planet ;  but  we  find  that  it  varies  slightly  from 
year  to  year.  So  the  true  latitude  is  not  always  that 
opposite  the  true  longitude  as  given  in  the  table. 

The  above  directions  will  be  fully  illustrated  in  Chap- 
ter VIII. 

We  now  have  all  the  astronomical  data  that  will  be 
required.  We  therefore  proceed  to  the  interpretation 
of  our  horoscope. 


CHAPTER  III. 

THE  SUN  AND  THE  ZODIAC. 

Having  perfected  the  celestial  chart  described  in  the 
preceding  chapter  we  have  done  with  astronomy  and 
turn  to  astrology,  which  is  the  science  of  interpreting 
what  we  have  before  us.  First  we  will  consider  the 
sun,  and  see  what  it  may  mean  alone  and  of  itself  when 
situated  in  the  various  signs  of  the  zodiac. 

The  sun  gives  all  kinds  of  light,  from  the  actinic 
rays  down,  and  especially  a  large  amount  of  heat.  It 
may  be  presumed  that  the  process  of  crystallization  is 
most  rapid  while  the  sun  is  above  the  earth.  If  it  has 
not  yet  risen,  crystallization  is  probably  retarded  until 
it  does  rise.  So  we  may  regard  the  sun  as  the  great  in- 
tensifier  of  whatever  star  or  planet  it  may  be  situated 
with.  And  first  of  ajl  it  intensifies  the  influence  of  the 
special  signs  of  the  zodiac. 

The  influence  of  these  signs  is  doubtless  due  partly 
to  the  fixed  stars  in  each,  partly  to  the  situation  in  re- 
gard to  the  equator,  affecting  gravitation  and  the  mole- 
cular arrangement  dependent  on  gravity,  and  partly  to 
the  situation  in  regard  to  the  magnetic  poles.  This  last 
supposition  is  the  only  explanation  I  can  make  of  the 
fact  that  certain  signs  seem  associated  with  certain 
countries  not  in  the  order  of  their  latitude. 

The  fixed  stars  have  moved  back  some  thirty  degrees 
since  the  time  of  Ptolemy,  and  as  far  as  they  affect  the 


40  ASTROLOGY. 

nature  of  the  sign,  the  sign  has  probably  changed  since 
his  time.  So  I  take  the  nature  of  the  signs  as  a  whole 
from  a  modern  writer  instead  of  Ptolemy.  Mr.  Hiram 
Butler,  author  of  "Solar  Biology,"  has  made  a  special 
study  of  the  significance  of  the  signs  by  direct  observa- 
tion, and  in  each  case  I  have  myself  verified  his  conclu- 
sions. 

The  signs*  are  divided  into  four  groups,  of  three 
signs  each,  one  hundred  and  twenty  degrees  apart,  or 
the  space  of  four  signs.  Beginning  with  Aries  and  tak- 
ing every  fourth  sign  we  have 

THE  FIRE  TRIPLICITY— Aries  (r),  Leo  (SI), 
and  Sagittarius  ( /  ).  Persons  born  when  the  sun  is  in 
either  of  these  are  invariably  active,  impetuous,  gener- 
ous, energetic,  and  not  liable  to  infectious  diseases. 

Beginning  with  Taurus  and  taking  every  fourth  sign 
we  have 

THE  EARTH  TRIPLICITY— Taurus  ( 8  ),  Virgo 
(njj),  and  Capricorn  (vj ).  Persons  born  when  the  sun 
is  in  either  of  these  are  reserved,  fond  of  the  good  things 
of  earth,  often  musical,  and  observers  of  the  conven- 
tionalities of  life,  though  not  at  all  timid  of  public  opin- 
ion. They  are  usually  a  stiff-necked  race. 

Beginning  with  Gemini  and  taking  every  fourth  sign 
we  have 

THE  AIR  TRIPLICITY— Gemini  (n),  Libra  (=&), 
and  Aquarius  (zz).  Persons  born  when  the  sun  is  in 
either  of  these  are  mentally  quick  and  versatile,  change- 
able and  unsteady,  and  for  the  most  part  good  writers, 
lecturers,  and  teachers,  affable  and  adaptable. 

*See  Appendix  A  and  Appendix  B. 


ASTROLOGY.  41 

Beginning  with  Cancer  and  taking  every  fourth  sign 
we  have 

THE  WATER  TRIPLICITY— Cancer  (25),  Scor- 
pio (TTL),  and  Pisces  (X).  Persons  born  when  the  sun 
is  in  either  of  these  signs  are  domestic,  though  often 
unhappy  in  domestic  relations.  They  are  well  adapted 
to  shop-keeping,  trading,  farming,  and  so  forth,  and  are 
usually  good  housekeepers  and  managers. 

And  now  let  us  consider  each  sign  separately. 

1.  The  Fire  Triplicity. 

«V  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Aries  is  mental  activity  and  mechanical  ability,  and  they 
are  naturally  fond  of  music  and  dancing.  Hence  they 
are  energetic  leaders  in  business  and  society :  their  dan- 
ger is  brain  disease. 

SI  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Leo  is  their  intensity  and  nobility  of  love.  Though  often 
impetuous  and  rash,  they  are  indulged  because  of  their 
undoubted  nobility.  They  are  'Tiandy"  and  active,  and 
excel  in  mercantile  and  intellectual  pursuits.  This  is  the 
distinctively  masculine  sign. 

/  The  leading  -characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Sagittarius  is  the  unfailing  activity  of  the  fire  triplicity 
directed  inward,  away  from  society,  and  toward  purely 
independent  undertakings  regardless  of  the  attitude  of 
others.  They  are  generous,  impulsive,  prophetic,  and 
high  in  their  aims. 

2.  The  Air  Triplicity. 

ii.  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Gemini  is  their  nervous  restlessness  and  fickleness,  and 
artistic  and  intuitive  bent  of  mind,  making  writers,  pub- 


42  ASTROLOGY. 

lie  speakers,  commercial  travellers,  and  society  women 
of  graceful  and  varied  talents,  but  unstable,  like  air. 

=2=  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Libra  is  their  keenness  of  mental  intuition,  or  foresight, 
and  great  correctness  of  first  impressions ;  hence  they 
are  excellent  speculators  in  commerce. 

XXXf  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  b^rn  urider 
Aquarius  is  their  quiet,  magnetic  power  over  people, 
and  hence  their  fondness  for  crowds  and  city  life.  They 
make  natural  politicians  and  financiers,  patrons  of  opera 
and  public  enterprises  of  all  sorts.  This  is  assisted  by 
their  honorable  character. 

3.  The  Earth  Triplicity. 

8  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Taurus  is  sensuousness  and  animal  sympathy  with  all 
forms  of  life,  balanced  by  a  certain  phlegmatic  stubborn- 
ness, accompanying  large  avoirdupois.  They  seem  par- 
ticularly adapted  for  the  medical  profession. 

itjj  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Virgo  is  their  keen,  accurate,  discriminating  eye,  with  a 
somewhat  materialistic  cast  of  mind.  They  are  very 
fond  of  music,  and  excel  in  critical  literary  work  of  all 
sorts,  as  they  understand  life  well  because  of  their  sup- 
pressed passion. 

VJ  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Capricorn  is  their  fondness  for  a  free,  lavish,  conven- 
tional life,  and  large  plans  and  schemes.  Hence  they 
are  natural  organizers  of  public  enterprises  and  business 
plans,  and  are  not  happy  unless  they  are  wealthy. 

4.  The  Water  Triplicity. 

25  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 


ASTROLOGY.  43 

Cancer  is  their  extreme  personal  sensitiveness,  fondness 
for  domestic  life  and  trade  and  manufacture  of  domestic 
articles.  This  is  the  distinctly  feminine  sign,  and  the 
women  are  talkative,  while  the  men  are  quiet  and  nega- 
tive. 

HI  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Scorpio  is  their  callous  and  exacting  nature,  together 
with  great  respect  for  public  ideas  and  customs  and  per- 
sons in  high  position.  They  are  therefore  admirably 
adapted  to  carry  out  popular  ideas  with  a  rigid  thor- 
oughness impossible  under  other  sings,  and  are  excel- 
lent public  officials. 

X  The  leading  characteristic  of  those  born  under 
Pisces  is  their  faithful  studiousness  and  lack  of  self- 
confidence.  They  are  careful,  anxious,  restless  and 
thoughtful,  over-conscientious,  and  faithful  servants,  af- 
fable, upright,  kind,  fond  of  history  and  travel. 


CHAPTER  IV. 

THE  MOON  AND  THE  PLANETS. 

The  sun  (O)  is  considered  masculine  and  positive, 
because  it  is  the  source  of  energy  and  life.  The  moon 
( D )  is  considered  feminine  and  negative,  because  it 
shines  by  reflected  light.  The  greater  part  of  the  light 
which  reaches  it  is  reflected,  and  this  physical  fact  seems 
closely. connected  with  the  sympathetic  and  intuitive  side 
of  the  mind.  I  believe  that  quick,  intuitive  sympathy 
with  persons  and  situations  depends  very  largely  on  the 
amount  of  light  which  the  moon  reflects,  especially  if 
that  light  reaches  the  earth  at  a  good  angle.  Thus  when 
the  moon  is  full,  sympathetic  perception  is  at  its  maxi- 
mum, and  it  is  proportionately  less  as  the  moon  is  nearer 
the  sun,  either  waxing  or  waning,  and  least  when  it  is 
nearly  on  a  line  with  the  sun. 

The  moon  is  said  to  be  one  of  the  mental  rulers,  gov- 
erning the  sympathetic  and  intuitive  faculties  of  the 
mind  wherever  it  may  be  situated,  and  m  a  man's  horo- 
scope it  is  closely  connected  with  marriage,  as  we  shall 
see  later. 

Like  the  sun,  but  in  a  less  degree,  it  intensifies  the 
various  signs  of  the  zodiac,  and  in  jdging  the  effect  of 
the  sun  in  any  sign,  we  must  consider  it  as  modified 
by  the  sign  the  moon  is  in.*  Thus,  if  the  sun  be  in

Sagittary  and  the  moon  be  in  Gemini,  the  native's  gen- 
erosity and  impetuosity  will  go  out  in  the  direction  of 
science,  oratory,  or  the  like,  and  with  all  his  fire  he  will  • 
be  versatile,  original,  and  keen.  But  if  the  moon  is 
in  Cancer,  his  fire  and  impetuosity  will  be  directed  more 
to  domestic  affairs.  And  so  with  all  the  other  signs. 
The  sign  in  which  the  sun  is  will  be  strongest,  but  it  will 
be  modified  by  the  sign  in  which  the  moon  is. 

The  sun  has  the  most  general  significance,  but  the 
moon  as  we  have  seen  is  somewhat  specialized,  and  the 
planets  are  much  more  specialized.  The  planets  shine 
largely  by  reflected  light,  but  they  differ  enormously  in 
the  kind  of  light  they  absorb  and  that  which  they  reflect. 
A  few  of  the  more  remote  probably  shine  somewhat 
with  their  own  light.  They  are  stronger  or  weaker  ac- 
cording to  the  part  of  the  zodiac  they  are  in.  For  if  the 
part  of  the  zodiac  corresponds  with  their  natures,  they 
are  strengthened,  but  if  it  is  different  they  are  weakened. 

We  know  seven  planets  beside  the  earth  which  are 
large  enough  to  be  considered  here.  Two  of  these  were 
unknown  to  the  ancients  (Uranus  and  Neptune),  and 
their  lack  of  knowledge  of  them,  especially  of  Uranus, 
threw  their  calculations  sadly  out.  For  instance,  had 
Kepler  known  that  Uranus  (or  Herschel,  as  it  is  some- 
times called)  was  on  the  midheaven  at  the  birth  of  his 
patron  Wallenstein  he  might  have  predicted  that  man's 
death,  which  as  a  matter  of  fact  He  failed  to  do.  Uranus 
especially  often  causes  strange  vagaries. 

Mercury  (  $ )  is  nearest  the  sun,  and  consequently 
in  the  horoscopical  chart  will  always  be  found  near  the 


46  ASTROLOGY. 

sun,  as  will  Venus  also.  Mercury  is  the  joint  ruler  of 
the  mind  with  the  moon,  but  it  governs  the  active  intel- 
lectual qualities,  not  the  passive  or  sympathetic.  From 
Mercury  you  get  powers  of  oratory,  quick  thought  and 
perception,  intellectual  brilliancy.  The  sign  it  is  most 
like  is  Gemini,  and  the  next  is  Virgo.  Mercury  in 
Scorpio  gives  intense,  narrow  mental  application,  and 
persons  with  this  combination  are  adapted  to  continu- 
ous scientific  thinking.  Brain  diseases  are  also  con- 
nected with  Mercury,  especially  brain  fever  and  mad- 
ness, while  harmless  lunacy  is  connected  with  the  moon. 

Venus  ( 9  )  is,  next  to  Mercury,  nearest  the  sun,  and 
indicates  a  soft,  graceful,  voluptuous  nature,  usually 
not  at  all  bad,  but  fond  of  dress,  music,  literature,  and 
love-making.  It  is  admirably  personified  in  the  beauti- 
ful, graceful,  sweet  tempered  goddess  the  Romans  called 
Venus  and  the  Greeks  Aphrodite.  Venus  is  especiilly 
at  home  in  Taurus,  and  in  a  quiet  and  domestic  way 
in  Pisces.  In  Scorpio  it  is  vicious  and  sensual  to  a  cer- 
tain extent.  It  is  closely  connected  with  the  moon,  and 
when  in  conjunction  it  makes  beautiful,  languid,  sweet- 
tempered  women  and  effeminate  men. 

Next  comes  Mars  ( $ ),  the  fiery,  hot-tempered 
planet.  Connected  with  Mercury  it  gives  a  touchy,  vio- 
lent temper ;  with  Venus  it  makes  passionate  lovers ; 
with  Jupiter  it  makes  brave  soldiers.  With  Mercury 
also  it  makes  mathematicians,  people  fond  of  surveying 
and  civil  engineering.  People  with  Mars  strong  in  the 
horoscope  like  to  live  out  of  doors.  Mars  is  strongest 
in  Aries,  and  next  strongest  in  Scorpio. 


ASTROLOGY.  4? 

Next  comes  Jupiter  (#),  the  strongest  of  the  plan- 
ets, though  Saturn  is  about  equally  strong.  Jupiter  is 
the  planet  of  ambition,  generosity,  nobleness,  reverence, 
and  it  especially  governs  leaders  of  men.  The  man  with 
Jupiter  strong  in  his  horoscope  is  almost  sure  to  be 
chosen  spontaneously  by  his  comrades  as  their  chief,  and 
a  good,  kindly,  high-minded  chief  he  will  be.  It  is  easy 
to  see  that  Jupiter  is  calculated  to  bring  good  fortune. 

Saturn  ( h ),  which  comes  next  to  Jupiter,  and  next 
to  him  is  the  largest  and  the  brightest,  is  almost  the 
reverse  in  nature.  Saturn  is  represented  as  an  old  manv 
with  skinny  fingers,  long  nails  and  unkempt  hair,  a 
miser,  fond  of  digging  in  the  earth,  mean  and  stingy. 
But  Saturn  is  not  really  so  bad  as  he  is  sometimes  rep- 
resented. He  gives  patience  and  tenacity,  and  makes 
persons  born  when  he  is  strong  to  be  economical  and 
saving  instead  of  recklessly  generous,  as  Jupiter  men 
are.  Jupiter  is  too  generous  and  open-handed,  Saturn 
too  miserly;  but  put  them  together  and  you  have  the 
best  possible  combination.  In  connection  with  Mercury, 
Saturn  gives  powers  of  continuous  thought  and  patient 
application  of  the  mind.  He  makes  Venus  reserved  and 
modest,  not  wearing  her  heart  on  her  sleeve.  He  cools 
the  ardor  of  Mars  and  prevents  in  large  measure  the 
fevers  that  Mars  excites.  Favorably  situated  with  re- 
gard to  the  sun  he  gives  good  business  habits,  and  he 
counteracts  the  changeableness  of  the  moon  and  her 
ready  sympathy  with  everything  that  comes  along.  He 
is  strongest  in  Capricorn,  and  after  that  in  Aquarius 
and  Libra. 


48  ASTROLOGY. 

Uranus  (  $  )  was  unknown  to  the  ancients*,  indeed  it 
was  not  discovered  until  the  beginning  of  the  nineteenth 
century.  It  has  a  very  important  influence  in  a  horo- 
scope, nevertheless,  and  explains,  as  I  have  said,  many 
of  the  difficulties  of  the  ancients.  I  call  it  one  of  the 
blind  planets,  Neptune  being  the  other,  because  it  cannot 
be  seen  with  the  naked  eye,  and  seems  to  act  in  a  sub- 
tle manner,  under  the  surface.  It  is  strong  in  the  horo- 
scopes of  those  people  who  do  erratic  things,  for  which 
they  nevertheless  think  they  have  a  very  good  reason 
though  others  cannot  understand  it.  A  woman  who  is 
hard  to  understand  is  often  under  his  influence,  and  if 
Uranus  is  connected  with  Venus  or  the  moon  she  will 
be  liable  to  have  illicit  love-affairs.  Uranus  also  gov- 
erns people  in  authority,  that  is  in  public  office,  and  con- 
trols changes  and  traveling,  as  does  the  moon  also. 
Connected  with  Mercury,  he  gives  a  subtle,  analytic 
mind,  highly  original  and  independent.  Such  persons 
are  likely  to  discover  new  scientific  principles,  and  may 
get  into  trouble  by  not  being  conventional  enough  in 
their  thought.  He  also  governs  public  life,  and  hence 
is  strongest  in  Aquarius  for  that  'quality,  but  in  Gemini 
as  regards  originality  of  thought  and  intellectual  inven- 
tion. In  Cancer  he  makes  women  unfaithful  (men,  too, 
in  a  less  degree).  A  connection  with  the  moon  or  Venus 
tends  to  the  same  thing. 

*The  names  of  Mercury,  Venus,  Mars,  Jupiter  and  Saturn 
were  given  by  the  ancients  because  the  astrological  influence  of 
these  planets  corresponded  to  the  supposed  characters  of  these 
deities.  But  Uranus  and  Neptune  were  named  by  modern 
astronomers  who  knew  nothing  of  astrology.  So  the  names  of 
these  planets  do  not  indicate  their  natures  in  any  degree,  as  the 
charlatan  writers  on  astrology  would  lead  us  to  believe. 


ASTROLOGY.  49 

Of  the  influence  of  Neptune  (W)  little  is  known. 
This  planet  was  discovered  only  about  fifty  years  ago, 
and  its  influence  is  evidently  very  much  under  the  sur- 
face, very  subtle.  For  myself,  I  think  it  may  be  con- 
nected with  the  highest  kind  of  poetry.  Shelley  was  said 
to  have  it  in  the  strongest  place  in  his  horoscope.  It 
may  govern  clairvoyants,  and  others  of  supersensitive 
mind.  But  I  am  not  at  all  sure,  there  is  so  little  mate- 
rial of  observation  to  judge  from.  Perhaps  one  of  our 
readers  will  investigate  the  subject.  It  is  said  to  be 
strongest  in  Libra. 

Saturn,  Uranus,  and  Neptune  certainly  all  give  high 
powers  of  imagination. 

A  planet  is  said  to  be  in  its  "detriment"  or  "fall"  when 
it  is  weakest,  strongest  in  its  "own  sign,"  and  rather 
strong  in  its  "exaltation."  Ptolemy  says  the  various 
planets  are  also  more  or  less  strong  in  the  various 
parts  of  each  -sign.  These  parts  he  calls  "terms."  The 
following  table  is  based  on  Ptolemy,  but  is  considerably 
modified  by  the  introduction  of  the  two  new  planets.  I 
have  made  a  few  changes  in  accordance  with  modern 
observations.

The  following  table  of  "terms"  is  taken  from  Ptol-

covered planets  are  not  included ;  but  I  consider  the 
omission  unimportant.  Ptolemy  gives  his  reasons  for 
his  division  of  the  signs  into  these  "terms,  "  which  seem 
to  me  very  sound,  but  space  forbids  repeating  them. 
As  far  as  I  have  been  able  to  observe,  the  table  is  very 
accurate,  and  it  is  certainly  useful,  for  it  shows  the  rela- 
tive strength  of  each  planet  in  each  sign,  as  well  as  the

they  are  bracketed  together. 


CHAPTER  V. 

HOUSES    AND    ANGLES. 

Skill  in  judging  a  horoscope  consists  in  striking  a 
'palance  between  the  relative  strengths  of  all  the  planets, 
sun,  moon,  and  signs  of  the  zodiac.  The  rule  should  be 
to  make  a  table  of  all  these  and  mark  opposite  each  its 
various  claims  to  strength  in  the  horoscope,  indicating 
that  claim  by  a  number  in  each  case.  The  planet  with 
the  strongest  claim  will  be  the  ruling  planet,  and  cor- 
respond to  the  strongest  characteristics  of  the  nature 
analyzed,  and  this  will  be  modified  by  the  others  in  pro- 
portion to  their  strength. 

In  the  preceding  chapters  we  have  seen  the  relative 
strength  of  the  sun  and  planets  as  determined  by  situa- 
tion in  the  zodiac.  There  is  a  still  more  important 
source  of  strength,  however,  and  that  is  situation  in  the 
"angles,"  as  they  are  called.  There  are  four  angles. 
The  top  point  of  the  chart,  or  cusp  of  the  tenth  house, 
is  called  the  "south  angle,"  because  in  the  zodiac  it  is 
nearest  the  south  point  of  the  horizon.  Directly  oppo- 
site this,  at  the  very  bottom,  is  the  "north  angle,"  which 
is  under  the  earth,  and  in  these  northern  latitudes  it  is 
nearest  the  north  point  of  the  horizon.  It  is  on  the  cusp 
of  the  fourth  house.  Ai  the  left  of  the  figure,  on  the  cusp 
of  the  first  house,  is  the  "east  angle"  or  ascendant,  which 
marks  the  place  where  the  heavenly  bodies  rise.  Oppo- 
site it  on  the  right  is  the  "west  angle." 


ASTROLOGY.  53 

The  "south  angle"  at  the  top,  is  called 
more  commonly  the  midheaven,  or  medium  coeli  (M. 
C),  while  the  angle  at  the  bottom  is  called  the  natiir  or 
irintm  coeli  (I.  C.).  The  midheaven  and  the  ascendant 
seem  to  me  equally  strong.  The  heavenly  bodies  rise  at, 
the  ascendant  and  pass  through  the  houses  in  reverse 
order.  Of  course  at  the  moment  of  birth  the  rays  are 
most  powerful  which  come  down  direct,  that  is,  from  the 
midheaven.  But  on  the  other  hand,  those  which  come 
from  the  ascendant,  though  weaker  at  first,  have  twice 
as  long  a  time  to  affect  crystallization.  I  should  say  that 
the  first  strong  bent  of  a  man's  life  was  given  by  the 
midheaven,  and  the  development  along  the  line  of  that 
bent  was  most  determined  by  the  ascendant.  The 
ascendant  gives  obvious  characteristics,  the  midheaven 
hidden.  The  other  two  angles  also  seem  to  me  of  equal 
importance,  both  less  strong  than  the  ascendant  and 
midheaven.  A  heavenly  body  at  the  west  angle  pours 
in  its  light  strongly  for.  the  moment  of  birth,  but  it  is 
then  immediately  obscured.  The  nadir  will  rise  first, 
though  for  the  time  being  under  the  earth.  But  at  the 
nadir  a  planet  has  an  admirable  opportunity  to  modify 
all  the  other  heavenly  bodies  by  its  upward  gleaming 
light.  I  conceive  that  a  body  at  the  nadir  sends  its 
light  so  that  the  rays  meet  those  which  come  down 
from  above  the  earth  (of  course  before  they  reach  the 
earth),  and  so  modifies  their  light  while  it  is  still  at  a 
distance.  The  modified  light  which  then  meets  the 
earth  from  above  has  a  more  diffused  quality. 

As  to  the  relative  strength  of  these  angles,  I  should 


54  ASTROLOGY. 

rate  the  ascendent  and  midheaven  at  9  each,  the  west 
angle  and  nadir  7  each. 

The  ascendant  determines  one's  physique,  height, 
weight,  color  and  health*.  The  midheaven  determines 
the  bent  of  the  mind,  and  hence  the  professsion  and 
honor  in  life.  The  western  angle  determines  the  bent 
of  the  affections,  and  hence  marriage,  partnerships,  and 
sympathies  in  general.  It  is  the  angle  of  the  moon,  as 
the  ascendant  is  the  angle  of  the  sun.  The  nadir,  or 
lower  angle  is  the  modifier.  If  the  midheaven  is  called 
the  angle  of  Mercury,  and  the  ascendant  the  angle  of 
the  sun,  this  may  be  called  the  angle  of  all  the  other 
planets.  Jupiter  here  lends  his  nature  to  the  whole  life, 
and  in  general  makes  great  and  successful  men ;  Saturn 
makes  a  life  of  misfortune  and  narrow  circumstances, 
but  gives  great  poetic  powers  and  stubborn  patience  un- 
der the  ills  that  come.  The  other  planets  likewise  modify 
life  according  to  their  nature. 

But  there  are  other  angles  which  are  very  important, 
too,  and  they  are  the  cusps  of  the  various  houses.  Ptol- 
emy considers  planets  above  the  earth  in  the  eastern  sky 
(that  is,  upper  left  hand  quadrant  of  the  chart)  most 
strongly  situated  because  they  are  longest  above  the 
earth.  The  other  quadrant  above  the  earth  is  probably 
the  next  strongest,  and  next  to  that  the  lower  left  hand 
quadrant,  because  it  will  rise  before  the  other  lower 
quadrant ;  .and  the  weakest  is  the  lower  right  hand  quad- 
rant as  shown  in  the  chart. 

Of  course  a  planet  anywhere  in  the  twelfth  house  is 
moving  rapidly  toward  the  cusp  of  the  twelfth,  which 

*See  Appendix  D. 


ASTROLpGY.  55 

is  the  important  point.  Most  astrologers  speak  of  the 
whole  house  as  signifying  so  and  so.  I  prefer  to  follow 
Ptolemy,  as  I  conceive  his  meaning  to  be,  and  speak  of 
the  angle  at  the  cusp. 

If  the  angle  of  human  crystallization  is  sixty  degrees, 
following  the  analogy  of  the  refraction  of  light  in  min- 
eral crystals,  all  the  light  takes  effect  on  the  horizon  or 
angle  of  the  ascendant,  and  then  it  gradually  diminishes 
until  at  thirty  degrees,  or  the  cusp  of  the  twelfth  house, 
the  light  is  all  shut  out.  From  that  it  gradually  in- 
creases again  until  at  sixty  degrees,  or  the  cusp  of  the 
eleventh  house  its  effect  is  at  the  full  again.  Or  you 
may  say  that  at  the  ascendant  and  at  sixty  degrees  above 
the  ascendant  the  light  strikes  the  human  crystal  on  an 
angle,  while  at  thirty  degrees  it  strikes  the  flat  middle 
of  a  face  of  a  crystal.  Ptolemy  calls  this  angle  "incon- 
junct,"  which  is  an  admirable  name  for  it.  I  would  call 
it  the  blind  angle.  A  planet  at  this  angle  certainly  pro- 
duces an  effect,  but  it  is  hidden,  under  the  surface. 
This  is  the  angle  of  hidden  enemies.  The  cusp  of  the 
eleventh,  on  the  other  hand,  is  the  angle  of  friends, 
hopes,  and  all  that  is  open  and  apparent.  According  to 
my  theory,  the  midheaven  should  be  another  "blind" 
angle,  and  experience  shows  it  to  be  associated  with 
one's  profession,  employment,  honors,  etc.,  those  things 
that  come  subtly  and  in  ways  we  do  not  see  very  clearly. 
And  so  with  the  other  angles. 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  influence  of  these 
angles :  A  planet  is  strong  if  within  one  or  two  degrees 
of  the  angles  of  a  cusp,  especially  if  it  is  moving  to- 
ward the  angle.  The  angles  below  the  earth  are  very 


38  ASTROLOGY. 

similar  in  nature  to  those  above,  and  may  be  said  to 
modify  those  above,  in  the  way  that  I  have  spoken  of 
the  nadir  as  a  modifying  angle.  I  will  speak  first  of  the 
angles  above  the  earth. 

First  Cusp.  This  is  associated  with  the  personal  ap- 
pearance and  disposition  of  the  native.  The  whole  sign 
on  this  cusp  may  be  taken  as  in  general  indicative  of 
this  feature,  but  planets  in  the  sign,  or  within  twenty- 
five  degrees  below  the  angle,  or  in  aspect  to  the  angle, 
will  greatly  modify  the  appearance. 

The  influence  of  the  various  signs  and  planets  is 
as  follows : 

Aries  gives  medium  height  and  reddish-brown  or 
swarthy  complexion. 

Taurus  gives  short  stature  and  thickset  body,  round, 
and  animal  in  appearance. 

Gemini  gives  medium  height,  indifferent  complexion, 
and  an  active,  agile  manner. 

Cancer  gives  moderate  stature,  an  oval  face,  and  a 
weak,  timid  manner,  lacking  energy,  more  receptive  than 
positive. 

Leo  gives  large  stature  and  build,  clear  complexion, 
and  a  firm,  bold,  courteous  manner. 

Virgo  gives  a  slender  form,  dark  ruddy  complexion, 
and  grace  and  agility. 

Libra  gives  a  tall  and  not  very  heavy  form,  fair,  in- 
different complexion,  and  an  amiable,  intellectual  man- 
ner, with  little  show  of  emotion. 

Scorpio  gives  short  stature,  thickset  body,  broad, 
coarse  face,  rather  hard  in  appearance  and  dark.  The 
manner  is  stolidly  indifferent. 


ASTROLOGY.  57 

Sagittary  makes  men  handsome  and  well-formed, 
sometimes  bald,  generally  above  the  medium  height  with 
a  commanding  carriage,  and  free,  open  countenance. 
The  manner  is  courteous,  though  often  conceited. 

Capricorn  gives  middle  stature,  a  thin  build,  and  a 
carriage  not  graceful.  The  manner  may  be  called  dip- 
lomatic. 

Aquarius  gives  a  moderately  tall,  well-built  stature, 
fair  complexion,  and  a  firm,  kindly,  undeviating  manner. 
•  Pisces  gives  low  stature,  short  limbs  often  stout,  and 
a  slow,  uncomprehending  manner,  far  from  preposses- 
sing. 

For  the  disposition  and  further  details,  see  the  cliap- 
ter  on  "The  Sun  and  the  Zodiac." 

Jupiter  gives  form  and  qualities  almost  exactly  like 
Sagittary  alone.  If  in  Sagittary  it  strengthens  the  effect. 

Saturn  gives  dark  or  black  hair  and  complexion,  and 
a  very  reserved  manner. 

Mars  gives  a  bright  red  complexion,  sandy  or  red 
hair,  and  quick,  decided  manner. 

Venus  gives  a  soft  glow  of  color  and  a  downy  ap- 
pearance, almost  always  a  fair  complexion,  a  more  or 
less  rounded  contour,  and  gentle,  pleasant  manner. 

Mercury  tends  to  less  avoirdupois,  and  quick,  in- 
tellectual manner  and  features. 

Uranus  and  Neptune  do  not  seem  to  change  the 
physique  very  much,  but  if  in  the  rising  sign  they  affect 
the  mind  according  to  their  natures  as  before  described. 

The  moon  tends  to  paleness,  sensitiveness,  and  vacil- 
lating habits. 


58  ASTROLOGY. 

The  sun  gives  glow  and  color,  and  the  effects  de- 
scribed for  the  sun  in  the  various  signs  are  intensified 
by  position  in  this  powerful  angle. 

Twelfth  Cusp.  This  is  next  in  order  above  the  hori- 
zon, and  the  angle  seems  associated  with  hidden  per- 
sonal attraction  or  repulsion.  Saturn  or  Mars  here 
would  make  enemies  according  to  their  nature,  and 
Jupiter  or  Venus  friends.  If  this  angle  is  well  occupied 
the  native  will  be  called  "magnetic,"  if  badly  occupied 
replusion  will  take  the  place  of  attraction ;  but  both  will 
be  hidden  and  inexplicable. 

Eleventh  Cusp.  This  is  the  open  angle,  and  if  well 
occupied  gives  friends  of  the  nature  of  the  planets  oc- 
cupying, and  also  hopes  and  general  outward  happiness. 
If  badly  occupied  it  signifies  false  friends  and  fears. 

Tenth  Cusp.  This  angle  is  associated  with  general 
success  in  life  and  the  nature  of  the  employment. 

Ninth  Cusp.  This  is  another  open  cusp,  and  is  said 
to  be  associated  with  writings,  publication,  religion,  and 
science,  and  has  great  influence  on  the  mind  and  in- 
clinations. 

Eighth  Cusp.  This  is  another  blind  angle.  It  is  said 
to  be  associated  with  legacies  and  dowry,  which  means, 
I  suppose,  one's  hidden,  peculiar  relations  in  the  matter 
of  wealth. 

Seventh  Cusp.  This  is  an  open  angle,  said  to  be  con- 
nected with  all  one's  open  relations  with  people  in  gen- 
eral. The  married  partner  is  characterized  here,  and  all 
kinds  of  open  friendly  and  hostile  relations  are  deter- 
mined. 

Sixth  Cusp.    This  is  said  to  be  connected  with  serv- 


ASTROLOGY.  59 

ants  and  persons  in  subordinate  positions,  and  to  show 
the  part  of  the  body  affected  by  disease. 

Fifth  .Cusp.  This  angle  is  said  to  be  connected  with 
one's  children  and  one's  speculations,  and  in  general  the 
native's  pleasures.  It  will  be  observed  that  it  is  in  oppo- 
sition to  the  cusp  of  friends  and  hopes. 

Fourth  Cusp.  This  is  the  important  angle  of  the 
nadir,  and  is  said  to  be  connected  with  the  end  of  life, 
as  the  midheaven  is  with  the  beginning. 

Third  Cusp.  This  angle  is  said  to  be  associated  with 
short  journeys,  letters,  writings,  and  the  mental  faculties 
in  general.  It  is  in  opposition  to  the  Ninth. 

Second  Cusp.  This  is  said  to  indicate  one's  pecuniary 
prospects.  It  is  in  opposition  to  the  Eighth. 

I  do  not  think  that  the  significance  of  these  angles 
is  very  well  understood.  If  strictly  analyzed  they  should 
correspond  to  certain  qualities  of  the  mind  in  each  case, 
which  qualities  in  turn  may  affect  the  events  indicated. 
The  significances  given  above  I  know  in  a  general  way 
to  be  correct.  Others  commonly  given  I  have  omitted 
because  I  have  not  proved  them.  For  instance,  the  mid- 
heaven  is  said  to  show  the  mother's  affairs  and  the  nadir 
the  father's.  This  matter  of  relationship  will  be  spoken 
of  in  a  subsequent  chapter.  There  is  a  very  curious  link 
here. 

OTHER  ANGLES. 

The  above  angles  have  bee'n  counted  from  the  east- 
ern horizon  toward  the  west.  Ptolemy  seems  to  me  to 
point  out  clearly,  though  not  in  so  many  words,  the 
significance  of  angles  counted  from  the  south  toward  the 
north  along  the  meridian.  These  angles  are  found  by 


00  ASTROLOGY. 

adding  the  declination  of  the  heavenly  body  to  the  dif- 
ference between  the  latitude  of  the  place  and  ninety  de- 
grees. It  is  obvious  that  every  degree  you  go  from  the 
equator  toward  the  north,  the  equator  will  seem  to  sink 
in  the  heavens  a  degree  toward  the  south.  If  you  take 
from  ninety  degrees  the  number  of  degrees  it  has  sunk 
(that  is,  the  latitude)  you  will  have  left  the  number  of 
degrees  it  is  above  the  horizon.  If  the  heavenly  body 
is  north  of  the  equator  it  will  be  just  so  many  more  de- 
grees above  the  horizon,  and  if  south  of  the  equator  just 
so  many  degrees  less. 

So  when  the  body  passes  the  meridian  it  will  be  a 
certain  number  of  degrees  above  the  horizon  on  exactly 
the  same  kind  of  a  circle  as  that  through  the  zenith  on 
which  the  cusps  of  the  houses  are  marked.  Now,  I  do 
not  know  much  about  these  angles,  having  only  deduced 
them  from  my  crystallization  theory.  But  I  should  say 
that  sixty  degrees  was  the  open  and  obvious  angle,  the 
apparently  strong  angle,  and  thirty  degrees  was  the  blind 
angle,  while  other  degrees  above  or  below  would  vary 
in  proportion. 

In  the  horoscope  analyzed  in  Chap.  VIII.  Mars  is  not 
particularly  strongly  situated  according  to  the  calcula- 
tions of  most  astrologers.  But  I  know  it  to  be  very 
strong  in  the  nature  of  the  native.  His  lifelong  motto 
has  been,  "I  was  ever  a  fighter,  so  one  fight  more,  the 
last  and  the  best" — a  slight  modification  of  a  line  in  a 
poem  of  Browning's.  Mars  is  situated  at  about  sixty  de- 
grees from  the  southern  angle.  This  open  angle  agrees 
with  the  open  nature  of  Mars  and  accounts  for  its 
strength  in  the  native. 


ASTROLOGY.  Gl 

I  conceive  Mars,  Venus  and  Mercury  to  be  best  at  an 
open  angle,  Jupiter,  Saturn  and  Uranus  at  a  blind  angle, 
though  perhaps  Jupiter  is  equally  strong  at  either. 


CHAPTER  VI. 

ASPECTS. 

The  Hindu  astrologers  base  everything  on  the  exact 
degree  of  the  ascendant.  In  their  system  a  difference 
of  twenty  seconds  will  produce  widely  differing  results. 
They  seem  to  me  to  carry  their  devotion  to  the  influence 
of  the  zodiac  (with  them  a  fixed  zodiac,  not  reckoned 
from  the  vernal  equinox)  to  an  extreme  that  must  largely 
vitiate  their  system.  It  is  simply  impossible  to  know  the 
time  of  birth  nearer  than  a  minute. 

Western  astrologers,  on  the  other  hand,  have  equally 
exaggerated  the  effect  of  aspects.  They  have  invented 
a  multitude  of  new  aspects,  radically  contrary  to  the 
theory  of  Ptolemy.  The  great  Kepler's  name  is  at- 
tached to  some  of  these  new  aspects,  but  for  all  that  I 
have  never  been  able  to  believe  in  them.  There  may  be 
a  system  of  crystallization  on  the  quintile  system ;  that  is, 
dividing  the  circle  into  five  equal  parts,  of  72  degrees 
each.  In  that  case  72  degrees  would  correspond  to  the 
ordinary  sextile,  144  degrees  to  the  trine,  and  36  degrees 
to  the  "inconjunct"  angle  of  Ptolemy.  There  may  be 
other  crystals  with  still  other  angles  of  crystallization. 
But  in  mineralogy  the  same  system  of  crystallization  is 
preserved  absolutely,  whatever  other  irregularities  there 
may  be. 

According  to  Ptolemy  there  are  four  aspects,  as  fol- 
lows: 


ASTROLOGY.  63 

The  sextile,  or  60  degrees. 

The  trine,  or  120  degrees. 

The  square,  or  90  degrees. 

The  opposition,  or  180  degrees. 

To  these  may  be  added  conjunction. 

The  sextile  and  trine  are  relations  between  two  open 
angles  or  two  blind  angles,  or  at  least  between  two  rays 
of  the  same  degree  of  intensity.  The  square  is  a  relation 
between  an  open  angle  and  a  blind  angle,  or  at  least 
between  rays  of  opposite  intensities ;  and  the  opposition, 
though  between  angles  of  the  same  kind,  leads  to  direct 
interference  of  light  when  the  light  coming  from  either 
side  is  of  opposite  character.  Besides,  in  addition  to  in- 
terference in  the  case  of  the  opposition  aspect,  one 
angle  is  increasing  in  light,  the  other  diminishing  (on  the 
principle  of  the  blind  and  open  angles). 

There  is  still  another  aspect  of  importance,  and  that 
is  the  conjunction.  In  this  case  the  light  is  mingled 
before  it  reaches  the  earth.  Sometimes  the  mixture 
is  harmonious,  sometimes  it  is  a  union  of  opposites  that 
hate  each  other  and  the  result  is  not  of  the  best. 

There  are  also  two  ways  in  which  to  ascertain  how 
many  degrees  apart  two  heavenly  bodies  are.  It  may  be 
counted  on  the  circle  of  the  zodiac,  or  that  circle  over  the 
earth  passing  through  the  zenith,  on  which  the  cusps 
of  the  houses  are  calculated.  It  is  very  easy  to  reckon 
in  the  zodiac,  for  every  aspect  will  be  between  bodies 
which  have  the  same  number  of  degrees  of  longitude  in 
a  sign.  Thus  5  Gemini  is  in  square  with  5  Virgo  and 
in  opposition  with  5  Sagittary.  It  is  also  in  trine  with 


0-4  ASTROLOGY. 

5  Libra  and  in  sextile  with  5  Leo.     And  so  in  other 
cases. 

But  an  aspect  does  not  need  to  be  exactly  on  the  de- 
gree to  count.  Each  planet  and  the  sun  and  moon  have 
what  is  called  an  "orb  of  influence"  within  which  its 
rays  are  effective  in  forming  an  aspect.  These  orbs  of 
influence  are  as  follows : 

Sun    17°     Moon     12°     Jupiter  10°     Saturn    9°    Venus  8° 
Mars    8°     Uranus- 8°     Mercury  8°     Neptune  7° 

To  ascertain  if  two  bodies  are  in  aspect,  add  their 
orbs  together  and  divide  by  two.  If  the  result  is  greater 
than  the  amount  either  lacks  of  forming  an  exact  aspect 
they  are  said  to  influence  each  other.  But  of  course  the 
degree  of  strength  depends  on  the  nearness  to  the  exact 
point  of  aspect. 

Aspects  are  also  various  in  strength  as  they  are  made 
from  different  signs.  They  are  strongest  from  the  so- 
called 

Cardinal  and  Movable  Signs:  Aries,  Cancer,  Libra, 
and  Capricorn.  They  are  next  strongest  from  the 

Fixed  Signs:  Taurus,  Leo,  Scorpio,  and  Aquarius. 
They  are  weakest  from  the 

Common  Signs:  Gemini,  Virgo,  Sagittary,  and 
Pisces. 

Each  of  these  sets  of  signs  are  in  square  and  opposi- 
tion to  each  other,  so  that  a  trine  or  sextile  aspect  would 
be  from  signs  different  in  power,  and  accordingly  that 
planet  is  strongest  which  is  from  the  strongest  sign 
(other  conditions  being  equal). 

Astrologers  usually  speak  of  the  trine  and  sextile  as 
good,  and  the  square  and  opposition  as  evil,  aspects,  just 


ASTROLOGY.  65 

as  they  speak  of  Saturn,  Uranus,  and  Mars  as  the  In- 
fortunes  or  Malefics,  and  Jupiter,  Venus,  and  the  sun  as 
the  Fortunes  (also  the  moon  and  Mercury  when  not  af- 
flicted). The  evil  aspects  are  called  "affliction." 

In  a  sense  this  division  into  good  and  evil  is  true,  but 
only  in  a  very  restricted  sense.  Happiness  and  health 
come  from  the  golden  mean.  Now  Jupiter  and  Venus 
are  not  far  from  that  golden  mean,  while  Saturn  goes  to 
extreme  reserve  and  coldness  of  nature  and  Mars  to  ex- 
treme heat.  But  set  Mars  against  Saturn  and  the  aver- 
age is  the  mean,  too.  Mars  means  courage,  high  spirit, 
daring.  Too  much  is  a  bad  thing,  just  as  too  much 
stubbornness  and  miserliness  is  bad,  though  we  call 
patience  and  thrift  virtues,  both  of  which  come  from 
Saturn.  And  too  much  of  the  golden  mean  makes  in- 
sipidity, and  too  much  generosity  is  foolhardiness.  Jupi- 
ter if  not  restrained  by  Saturn  makes  the  spendthrift, 
who  is  as  bad  as  the  miser. 

So  in  regard  to  aspects.  The  square  and  opposition 
aspects  between  Saturn  or  Mars  and  the  sun  or  moon,  or 
between  the  first  two  and  Jupiter  or  Venus,  make  sad 
havoc,  because  two  antagonistic  forces  contend  for  the 
mastery,  and  they  are  equally  balanced  because  they 
come  from  signs  of  equal  power.  But  the  square  and 
opposition  aspects  between  Jupiter  or  Venus,  two 
planets  not  in  conflict,  or  between  Jupiter  or  Venus  and 
the  sun  or  moon  are  helpful  rather  than  the  reverse. 
There  is  always  a  little  fluctuation  produced  by  these 
aspects,  a  little  irregularity,  which  is  not  apparent  in  the 
trine  and  sextile.  And  even  the  bad  aspects  of  the  bad 
planets  are  not  altogether*  bad.  Out  of  such  come  poets 


ASTROLOGY. 

with  their  fine  imaginations.  And  though  they  have 
rather  a  hard  tiijie  of  it  in  the  world  because  of  the  strug- 
gle against  opposing  forces,  still  it  is  this  contention  that 
strikes  out  the  divine  fire,  and  some  people  think  the 
reward  is  worth  the  hardship. 

The  trine  and  opposition  are  respectively  about  twice 
as  strong  as  the  sextile  and  square. 

The  relative  strength  and  importance  of  the  various 
planets  is  about  proportioned  to  the  number  of  degrees 
in  their  orb  of  influence.  Thus  the  sun  is  strongest,  next 
the  moon,  next  Jupiter,  next  Saturn,  etc. 

In  judging  the  meaning  of  an  aspect,  consider  the  na- 
tures of  the  planets,  see  (all  things  considered)  which 
planet  is  strongest,  and  so  average  the  result. 

Aspects  between  the  sun  and  any  planet  affect  the 
health,  and  hence  the  business  prospects.  Depression 
or  irregularity  in  the  vital  functions  always  interferes 
with  business,  while  vigor,  buoyancy,  and  hope  make 
business  go  merrily. 

Aspects  between  the  moon  and  any  planet  affect  the 
feelings,  the  emotions.  Extremes  of  feeling  make  peo- 
ple go  crazy,  and  excess  in  any  direction  causes  unhap- 
piness.  Thus  too  much  Saturn  produces  depression 
and  melancholy,  too  much  Mars  makes  a  rash,  tumul- 
tuous temperament.  Too  much  Uranus  causes  vagaries, 
eccentricity,  too  much  independence,  and  often  illicit 
connections  between  men  and  women.  Too  much  Jupi- 
ter makes  reckless  generosity,  the  spendthrift.  Too 
much  Venus  makes  an  over-fondness  for  luxury,  and  all 
the  sweet,  soft  things  of  life.  But  Mercury  and  the 


ASTROLOGY.  67 

moon  seem  always  to  get  on  well  together,  as  they  are 
indeed  joint  rulers  of  the  mind. 

The  moon  is  very  sensitive  to  other  planets,  and  Mer- 
cury equally  so.  Qualities  of  intellect  depend  very 
largely  indeed  on  the  aspects  to  Mercury.  Aspects  of 
any  kind  from  Jupiter  or  Venus  produce  mental  activity, 
Jupiter  in  the  direction  of  ambition,  politics,  govern- 
ment, etc.,  Venus  toward  art,  music,  and  beauty  however 
expressed.  Uranus  produces  originality  of  a  very 
marked  kind,  hence  scientific  thinkers ;  Saturn  poetic 
inspiration  of  the  melancholy  order.  A  peculiar  thing 
is  that  the  square  or  opposition  of  Saturn  to  the  moon 
produces  anguish  of  fear.  Such  people  suffer  frightfully 
from  timidity,  and  insanity  often  results.  The  favorable 
aspects  give  great  patience  and  continuity  of  thought, 
especially  valuable  to  scientific  men ;  for  while  Uranus 
gives  originality  it  makes  the  mind  wander.  The  as- 
pects of  Neptune  to  the  moon  probably  give  powers  of 
supersensitive  perception. 

The  aspects  of  Mars  and  Saturn  seem  largely  to  off- 
set each  other's  influence,  uniting  courage  with  endur- 
ance. Mars  with  Venus  gives  sensual  passion,  with  the 
sun  liability  to  fevers,  with  Uranus  violence  in  individual 
opinion,  with  Jupiter  warriors. 

The  aspects  of  Jupiter  are  such  as  one  may  easily 
imagine,  but  the  ill  aspects  of  the  extreme  planets  are 
highly  unfavorable  to  business  success,  the  attainment  of 
social  position,  and  general  happiness  of  the  even,  tem- 
perate kind. 

Venus  and  Mars  harmonize,  though  their  union  does 
cause  heated  passion.  Venus  affected  by  Uranus  causes 


68  ASTROLOGY. 

improper  unions  between  men  and  women,  not  through 
badness  of  heart,  but  rather  from  independence  of  be- 
havior. Saturn  restrains  the  ardors  which  Mars  in- 
creases, and  makes  women  cold  and  chaste  and  lacking 
in  affection.  The  favorable  aspects  of  Jupiter  and  Venus 
produce  adaptability  to  please  the  other  sex  and  fit  for 
social  life  in  general,  marriage  in  particular. 

Aspects  of  Uranus  with  Saturn  mean  little,  except 
that  they  increase  eccentricity  and  affect  unfavorably  the 
houses  or  angles  they  happen  to  be  in. 

As  to  the  aspect  of  conjunction,  the  student  must 
judge  for  himself.  Such  aspects  may  be  considered 
favorable  for  the  most  part,  and  their  evil  comes  from 
excess  of  the  quality.  Thus  if  Saturn  is  in  conjunction 
with  the  sun,  there  is  an  excess  of  the  quality  of  Saturn 
in  the  nature,  melancholy,  and  depression,  and  tendency 
to  lingering  illnesses.  But  this  excess  may  easily  be  off- 
set by  other  considerations  and  the  result  be  only  persis- 
tence, endurance,  and  a  steadfast,  thrifty  nature,  not  too 
gay. 

Similar  in  every  way  to  the  conjunction  is  another 
aspect  of  a  different  kind,  the  parallel  of  declination. 
The  same  declination,  either  north  or  south,  it  matters 
not,  produces  a  union  of  the  influences  of  the  two  bodies. 
It  is  found  by  a  simple  comparison  between  the  declina- 
tions found  for  the  day  of  birth,  and  operates  within 
three  degrees.  From  what  Ptolemy  says  of  the  strength 
of  aspects  from  planets  in  signs  "beholding  each  other," 
I  judge  that  parallel  of  declination  on  the  same  side  of 
the  equator  is  much  the  stronger. 

Aspects  are  usually  reckoned  on  the  circle  of  the  eclip- 


ASTROLOGY.  69 

tic  by  the  difference  in  longitude.  But  aspects  may  also 
be  reckoned  on  the  mundane  circle,  which  we  see  repre- 
sented by  the  houses.  We  may  note  them  by  getting 
the  relative  position  in  each  house  and  find  the  difference 
in  degrees,  reckoning  each  house  as  30  degrees  instead 
of  the  number  of  degrees  between  the  cusps. 

RETROGRADE  PLANETS. 

As  the  earth  moves  faster  than  some  planets  and 
slower  than  others,  there  are  times  when  the  planets 
seem  to  move  backward  in  the  ecliptic.  At  such  times 
the  planets -are  said  to  be  retrograde.  The  planets  whose 
orbits  are  greater  than  that  of  the  earth  will  be  retro- 
grade when  the  earth  in  its  orbit  comes  near  them,  and, 
by  its  greater  speed,  passes  them.  Mercury  and  Venus 
will  be  retrograde  when  they  come  near  the  earth  and  by 
their  greater  speed  pass  it. 

When  a  planet  is  retrograde  its  influence  is  greatly 
intensified  for  good  or  evil. 


CHAPTER  VII. 

PREDICTION. 

The  most  interesting  phase  of  astrology  is  that  of 
prediction,  yet  of  course  it  is  the  most  difficult  and  the 
most  uncertain.  To  predict  from  the  configuration  of 
the  stars  no  doubt  requires  a  certain  special  talent,  a  pe- 
culiar kind  of  judgment.  Ptolemy  says  only  persons 
gifted  by  the  gods  can  predict  particulars,  in  any  case. 

Briefly  to  summarize  what  may  be  predicted  and 
what  not  be,  we  may  say : 

1.  Outside  circumstances  as  modifying  a  man's  con- 
dition in  life  cannot  be  predicted.     The  planetary  condi- 
tions of  light,  etc.,  affect  only  the  man's  nature,  and  only 
so  far  as  a  man's  fortune  is  determined  by  his  own 
nature  and  characteristics  can  we  hope  to  have  any 
knowledge  of  it. 

2.  But  a  man  with  a  talent  for  picking  out  bad  situa- 
tions, choosing  rascals  for  friends,  and  failing  at  the 
tight  moment  to  seize  the  offered  opportunity,  will  seem 
to  be  the  victim  of  circumstances  when  in  reality  his  for- 
tune is  the  direct  result  of  his  own  nature. 

3.  Speaking  particularly,  however,  it  would  seem 
that  a  man's  nature  changes  with  his  maturity,  and  that 
not  in  any  regular  way.     At  certain  times  of  his  life  he 
has  a  tendency  to  waywardness,  at  another  perhaps  to 
rheumatism,  at  another  he  is  very  unlucky  in  business. 

70 


ASTROLOGY.  71 

These  tendencies  of  his  nature  can  be  foretold  by  a 
method  explained  by  Ptolemy,  with  a  certain  amount  of 
precision. 

There  are  two  distinct  methods  of  forecasting  the 
tendencies  of  a  man's  nature  in  the  successive  periods  of 
his  life,  and  to  these,  I  think,  should  be  added  a  third. 
The  first  is  called  that  of  primary  directions  (and  to  cal- 
culate them  we  must  know  the  exact  moment  of  birth) ; 
the  second,  that  of  secondary  directions.  Primary  direc- 
tions correspond  to  the  apparent  changes  in  the  posi- 
tions of  the  planets  due  to  the  revolution  of  the  earth 
during  the  two  or  three  hours  succeeding  birth;  the 
secondary  directions  to  the  changes  that  take  place  from 
day  to  day  during  the  few  weeks  after  birth.  In  primary 
directions,  the  movements  of  the  heavenly  bodies 
through  one  degree  of  space,  or  during  four  minutes  of 
time,  corresponds  to  one  year  of  life ;  and  in  secondary 
directions  the  changes  of  one  day  (during  which  the  sun 
moves  in  the  heavens  one  degree)  correspond  to  the 
changes  of  one  year  of  life.  To  make  use  of  secondary 
directions,  set  up  a  new  horoscope  for  each  fifth,  seventh 
or  ninth  day  after  birth  and  compare  that  with  the  orig- 
inal horoscope. 

In  the  study  of  primary  directions  the  most  important 
point  to  observe  is  that  the  positions  of  the  planets  in  the 
radical  horoscope  are  taken  as  the  basis  for  calculating 
the  relations  brought  about  by  the  changes.  Of  course 
as  the  earth  turns  on  its  axis  all  the  heavenly  bodies 
move  at  the  same  rate,  and  in  two  or  three  hours  their 
relative  positions  change  very  little.  But  their  posi- 
tions with  regard  to  the  positions  they  had  at  the  mo- 


72  ASTROLOGY. 

ment  of  birth  change  in  the  most  simple  and  natural 
manner. 

First,  let  us  consider  what  we  have.  Longitude  is 
measured  in  the  circle  of  the  ecliptic,  or  zodiac,  the  main 
celestial  circle,  and  undoubtedly  trines,  squares,  sextiles, 
etc.,  are  most  correctly  measured  by  degrees  in  this  cir- 
cle. Latitude  is  measured  in  degrees  north  and  south  of 
this  circle ;  but  the  variation  of  the  planets  in  their  move- 
ment about  the  sun  from  this  great  celestial  circle  of  the 
ecliptic  is  not  very  great.  Then  the  circle  that  passes 
through  the  middle  of  the  earth,  or  the  equatorial  circle, 
is  fixed  in  the  heaven,  and  is  inclined  to  the  circle  of  the 
ecliptic  at  an  angle  of  23°  27'.  Time  (hours  and  min- 
utes) is  measured  on  this  circle  by  the  apparent  daily 
revolution  of  the  heavenly  bodies,  and  in  astronomy  we 
call  the  position  of  a  planet  in  relation  to  this  equatorial 
circle  its  right  ascension.  Of  course,  the  planets  are 
often  a  considerable  number  of  degrees  north  or  south 
of  the  equatorial  circle,  according  to  their  position  in  the 
zodiac,  as  well  as  according  to  the  heliocentric  latitude. 
This  distance  from  the  equatorial  circle  is  called  declina- 
tion, and  the  point  corresponding  to  the  planet,  used  in 
calculating  its  place  for  determining  the  right  ascension, 
is  found  by  dropping  a  perpendicular  from  the  planet  to 
the  plane  of  the  equator. 

Now  let  us  consider  the  heavens  as  seen  from  the 
earth.  Here  we  have  another  great  circle  to  consider, 
the  horizon.  If  we  should  think  of  the  south  point  of 
the  horizon  as  the  south  pole  of  the  heavens,  as  we  ob- 
serve them  from  our  particular  position  on  the  earth,  and 
the  north  point  of  the  horizon  as  the  north  pole,  and 


ASTROLOGY.  73 

through  these  two  points  pass  meridians,  of  course  we 
should  have  a  series  of  circles  spherically  parallel  to  the 
horizon.  The  circle  passing  through  the  zenith  perpen- 
dicular to  these  we  call  the  mundane  circle. 

At  the  equator  the  equatorial  circle  passes  directly 
through  the  zenith,  at  right  angles  to  the  horizon,  and  all 
the  planets  move  straight  over  the  earth,  whatever  their 
declination.  They  may  be  a  little  north  or  a  little  south 
of  the  zenith  point,  but  they  rise  straight  up  from  the 
horizon  to  the  zenith  meridian,  and  their  change  of  place 
is  easily  measured  by  the  difference  of  right  ascension. 
But  as  we  go  north  or  south,  the  equatorial  circle  is  in- 
clined to  that  circle  which  passe?  directly  through  our 
zenith  and  is  no  longer  perpendicular  to  the  horizon  and 
its  set  of  suppositions 'meridians,  and  the  distance  of  a 
planet  from  the  zenith  meridian,  as  measured  in  the 
mundane  circle,  is  accordingly  altered. 

Now  for  the  purposes  of  primary  directions,  two 
stars  are  in  the  same  position  when  they  are  in  the  same 
"horizontal"  meridian.  Of  course  the  zenith  "horizon- 
al"  meridian  and  the  zenith  geographical  meridian  are 
identical ;  the  greatest  variation  is  at  ninety  degrees  from 
this  zenith  meridian  common  to  both,  and  the  error  of 
position,  as  counted  by  right  ascension,  steadily  de- 
creases as  a  planet  nears  the  meridian,  either  above  or 
below  the  earth.  The  arc  of  direction,  accordingly,  is 
the  time  (expressed  in  degrees)  required  for  a  planet  to 
move  in  the  daily  motion  of  the  earth  from  its  position 
in  one  "horizonal"  meridian  to  its  position  in  another 
passing  through  the  point  in  the  zodiac  that  will  make 
the  desired  trine  or  square  or  whatever  it  may  be. 


FIG.  3. 


74 


ASTROLOGY.  75 

To  calculate  directions  we  must  have  the  exact  posi- 
tion of  the  planet  in  relation  to  an  "horizonal"  meridian. 
This  position  will  vary,  from  the  position  in  right  ascen- 
sion by  an  amount  seen  in  the  right  angle  triangle 
Z  R  P  (Fig.  3). 

At  the  horizon  this  correction  is  identical  with  the 
''ascensional  difference"  of  a  point  in  the  zodiac  with  a 
given  declination,  and  may  be  found  from  a  table  of 
ascensional  differences  (see  Table  10). 

But  the  correction  decreases  as  the  planet  nears  the 
the  zenith,  until  at  the  zenith  it  disappears.  So  we  take 
that  proportional  part  of  the  ascensional  difference 
which  the  distance  of  the  planet  from  the  zenith  meridian 
is  to  ninety  degrees.  If  the  planet  is  thirty  degrees  from 
the  meridian  the  correction  is  only  one-third  of  the  full 
amount ;  if  sixty  degrees,  it  is  two-thirds  of  the  full 
amount. 

To  state  the  same  thing  differently — a  star  on  the 
equator  travels  at  a  uniform  rate  of  speed,  or  rather 
appears  to  from  the  earth,  the  real  motion  being  the 
rotation  of  the  earth  on  its  axis.  But  when  the  star 
is  either  north  or  south  of  the  equator  it  travels  on  a 
parallel  circle  like  PP',  and  from  the  earth  appears  to 
lag  behind  or  to  gain,  according  to  circumstances.  If 
the  star  has  south  declination,  in  northern  latitudes  it 
will  appear  to  fall  behind  while  under  the  earth,  until 
at  ninety  degrees  from  the  meridian  it  has  fallen  behind 
the  full  amount  of  the  ascensional  difference.  The 
ascensional  difference  in  latitude  45°  is  practically  the 
same  as  the  declination,  since  in  our  right  angle  triangle 
(M  taken  at  ninety  degrees  from  the  meridian  instead 


76  ASTROLOGY. 

of  as  shown  in  the  figure),  angle  ZRP  equals  angle  ZPR, 
and  hence  side  ZP  equals  side  ZR.  that  is,  the  declina- 
tion. But  as  the  star  approaches  the  meridian  the  per- 
pendicular ZR  swings  round  as  in  R'  Z',  and  then  after 
passing  the  meridian  begins  to  swing  away  again.  Now 
degrees  on  PP  are  exactly  the  same  as  on  QQ ;  that  is, 
it  takes  just  as  long  to  pass  ten  degrees  on  PP  as  on 
QQ,  and  of  course  to  pass  from  Z  to  Z'  requires  longer 
than  to  pass  from  R  to  R'.  RR'  is  the  difference  in 
right  ascension  between  two  fixed  degrees  of  the  zodiac ; 
but  ZZ'  is  approximately  the  arc  of  direction,  that  is, 
it  takes  the  time  indicated  by  the  degrees  in  ZZ'  for  the 
star  to  move  from  its  actual  position  at  Z  to  its  actual 
position  when  in  the  zodiacal  degree  corresponding  to 
R'.  So  in  calculating  an  arc  of  direction  we  take  the 
difference  in  right  ascension,  and  then  add  or  subtract 
the  degrees  the  star  will  lose  or  gain  in  passing  from 
one  right  ascension  to  another.  Above  the  earth,  if  the 
star  is  of  south  declination,  the  path  will  be  ZZ',  in 
which  case  the  correction  has  to  be  added.  If  the 
declination  is  north,  the  path  will  be  RJ  R'2,  in  which 
case  the  arc  is  shorter  than  the  arc  of  right  ascension, 
and  the  correction  has  to  be  subtracted.  Under  the 
earth  the  conditions  are  just  reversed — or  rather  at 
more  than  ninety  degrees  from  the  meridian,  whether 
actually  under  the  earth,  or  not.  If  a  star  on  its  path 
seems  to  gain  time  above  the  earth,  it  will  lose  the  same 
amount  under,  and  so  with  the  reverse. 

To  find  the  correction,  according  to  Ptolemy's 
method,  follow  this  rule  as  the  simplest  statement  of  the 
case: 


ASTROLOGY.  77 

If  the  movement  of  a  planet  is  between  any  two  of 
the  cardinal  angles,  find  the  difference  in  right  ascen- 
sion between  the  planet  indicated  and  the  position  of 
its  aspect.  Find  what  part  this  is  of  ninety  degrees,  and 
take  the  same  proportional  part  of  the  ascensional  dif- 
ference as  the  correction,  to  be  added  or  subtracted 
according  as  the  declination  is  north  or  south,  and 
above  the  earth  or  below,  as  explained  above.  If  the 
planet  moves  across  one  of  the  angles,  the  parts  must 
be  calculated  separately. 

In  directing  to  conjunction,  subtract  the  right  ascen- 
sion of  one  planet  from  that  of  the  other.  (Given  the 
geocentric  longitude,  the  right  ascension  may  be  found 
by  Table  n.)  To  the  difference  in  right  ascension  add 
the  correction — or  subtract  if  so  required. 

In  directing  to  an  aspect,  find  the  degree  of  the 
zodiac  in  which  the  aspect  takes  place.  The  right  ascen- 
sion of  this  degree  may  be  found  by  Table  II.  The 
difference  between  the  right  ascension  of  the  planet  and 
that  of  the  place  of  the  aspect  is  to  be  corrected  by  the 
rule  as  above  given,  and  the  sum  or  difference  will  be 
the  arc  of  direction. 

The  arc  of  direction  in  primary  directions  as  ex- 
plained above  is  measured  on  the  mundane  circle.  The 
arc  of  direction  in  the  case  of  secondary  directions  is 
measured  on  the  ecliptic.  But  the  author  has  proved 
the  efficacy  of  directions  measured  by  the  actual  arc 
due  to  movements  along  the  equator.  In  directing  to  a 
conjunction  or  opposition  the  process  is  a  simple  one. 
In  the  case  of  a  conjunction  we  simply  subtract  the  right 
ascension  that  is  lesser  from  that  which  is  greater.  In 


78  ASTROLOGY. 

the  case  of  an  opposition  we  add  180  degrees  to  the 
right  ascension  of  the  heavenly  body  to  which  another 
planet  or  luminary  is  to  be  directed,  and  find  the  differ- 
ence of  right  ascension. 

But  in  the  case  of  a  trine,  square  or  sextile,  to  the 
final  result  add  one-fourth  (approximately)  of  the  dif- 
ference in  declination  between  the  place  the  planet  starts 
from  and  that  to  which  it  moves.  In  the  rotary  motion 
of  the  earth  every  heavenly  body  moves  away  from  the 
circle  of  the  zodiac,  since  that  circle  is  inclined  to  the 
circle  of  the  equator,  or  the  circle  parallel  to  the  equator 
on  which  every  heavenly  body  appears  to  move  in  its 
rotation  about  the  earth.  Of  course  after  ninety  de- 
grees it  begins  to  come  back  again ;  but  since  all  arcs 
of  direction  are  under  ninety  degrees,  the  body  has  to 
move  a  little  farther  than  the  zodiacal  degree  of  the 
aspect,  or  the  degree  of  right  ascension  corresponding, 
before  it  can  really  come  to  a  place  120  degrees,  or  90 
degrees,  or  60  degrees  from  the  place  of  the  planet  to 
which  direction  is  desired.  Also  a  still  further  correc- 
tion is  necessary,  especially  with  sextiles  and  sometimes 
with  squares.  If  the  difference  in  declination  above 
described  is  n  degrees,  one  degree  should  be  added  to 
the  arc  in  addition  to  the  above  one-fourth,  and  for 
any  number  of  degrees  more  or  less  than  eleven,  a  frac- 
tion more  or  less  than  one  should  be  added  correspond- 
ing to  the  proportionate  relation  of  their  squares.  Thus, 
the  square  of  u  is  121.  If  the  difference  in  declination 
is  5,  of  which  the  square  is  25,  we  take  that  propor- 
tionate part  of  i  which  25  is  of  121,  practically  one- 
fifth.  If  the  difference  in  declinations  is  15,  of  which 


ASTROLOGY.  79 

the  square  is  225,  which  is  approximately  one  and  four- 
fifths  times  121,  we  add  one  and  four-fifths. 

When  the  aspect  to  which  direction  is  made  is  a 
square  we  add  one-fourth  of  the  change  in  declination 
just  the  same,  and  also  one  degree  for  every  14  degrees 
of  declination,  and  fractional  parts  in  proportions  to  the 
squares  as  shown  above. 

In  the  case  of  a  trine  aspect,  only  the  one-fourth  of 
the  change  in  declination  need  be  added.  The  other 
correction  in  this  case  becomes  too  small  for  notice. 

The  methods  given  for  determining  the  arc  of  direc- 
tion are  only  approximations ;  but  they  are  more  nearly 
correct  than  the  method  given  by  the  professional 
astrologers,  which,  with  all  its  complicated  mathematics, 
is  also  merely  an  approximation.  Particular  events  in- 
dicated by  directions  are  likely  to  follow  the  aspect, 
rather  than  come  before  or  exactly  at  the  time  of  it, 
though  closely  following  directions  of  a  contrary  nature 
may  counterbalance.  The  thing  most  certainly  indicated 
is  the  condition  of  one's  health. 

In  order  to  determine  the  strength  of  a  direction 
by  any  of  these  methods  we  must  first  determine  to 
what  extent  the  direction  is  aided  or  retarded  both  by 
secondary  directions  and  by  transits  of  the  planets  over 
their  own  places  or  the  places  of  other  planets  at  the 
actual  time  in  life  when  the  direction  should  operate. 
Transits  may  be  determined  by  counting  up  the  degrees 
the  planet  has  moved  in  the  given  time.  Mars  moves 
round  the  sun,  or  through  the  entire  zodiac,  in  about 
687  days,  or  1.88  years;  Jupiter  in  n.86  years;  Saturn 
in  29.46  years ;  Uranus  in  84.02  years ;  Neptune  in  164.6 


80  ASTROLOGY. 

years.  The  others  move  so  rapidly  their  transits  are  not 
important  (see  Table  9).  We  should  also  consider 
whether  the  sign  of  the  aspect  and  the  term  of  the  sign 
strengthen  or  weaken  the  power  of  the  planets  forming 
the  aspect.  And  the  strength  or  weakness  of  the  planets, 
in  the  zodiacal  horoscope  must  always  be  given  full 
weight.  Aspects  from  weakly  placed  planets  are  weak 
and  from  strongly  placed  planets  are  strong. 

In  considering  health,  the  prorogator  must  be 
chosen.  This  is  the  sun  by  day  and  the  moon  by  night, 
or  according  to  some  the  sun  for  a  man  and  the  moon 
for  a  woman,  if  either  luminary  is  in  a  prorogatory  place. 
The  chief  prorogatory  place  is  the  ascendant,  25  degrees 
below  and  5  above ;  next  the  midheaven,  or  tenth  house ; 
next  the  western  angle,  25  degrees  above  and  5  below; 
and  lastly  the  eleventh  house  and  the  ninth.  If  one 
of  the  luminaries  only  is  found  in  either  of  these  posi- 
tions, it  is  to  be  chosen,  whether  sun  or  moon.  If 
neither  is  so  found,  a  planet  must  be  taken,  which,  all 
things  considered,  is  strongest  in  the  horoscope,  espe- 
cially the  ascendant.  If  the  prorogator  come  into  con- 
junction, square,  or  opposition,  and  sometimes  even 
sextile  or  trine,  with  Mars  or  Saturn,  an  illness  may  be 
anticipated,  according  to  the  nature  of  the  planet  and 
the  place  in  the  zodiac.  A  similar  relation  with  Uranus 
causes  mental  depression,  and  often  suicide.  Such  rela- 
tions with  Jupiter  and  Venus  have  a  much  less  marked 
effect,  and  the  favorable  relations  almost  always  improve 
the  health. 

But  more  important  still  are  aspects,  directions  and 


ASTROLOGY.  81 

transits,  with  respect  to  the  ascendant.  Primary  direc- 
tions to  the  ascendant  are  always  important. 

Thus  Saturn  in  conjunction  with  the  ascendant 
would  bring  a  lingering  illness,  Mars  a  fever.  And  the 
part  of  the  body  affected  would  correspond  to  the  sign 
of  the  zodiac  in  which  the  aspect  occurs. 

The  signs  of  the  zodiac  govern  the  various  parts  of 
the  body  as  follows: 

Aries,  the  head;  Taurus,  the  neck  and  throat; 
Gemini,  the  chest  and  respiratory  organs ;  Cancer,  the 
breast  and  stomach ;  Leo,  the  heart,  veins  and  back ; 
Virgo,  the  bowels ;  Libra,  the  liver  and  kidneys ;  Scor- 
pio, the  genital  and  urinary  organs ;  Sagittary,  the  hips, 
thighs  and  nerves ;  Capricorn,  the  knees ;  Aquarius,  the 
lower  legs  and  joints ;  Pisces,  the  feet. 

Uranus  produces  suicide  and  sudden  and  uncommon 
deaths  and  mental  depression ;  Saturn  consumption, 
colds,  rheumatism,  and  tedious  illnesses ;  Jupiter,  liver 
troubles,  pleurisy,  indifferent  blood,  and  sometimes 
apoplexy,  but  only  in  bad  aspects,  while  in  good  he  im- 
proves the  health ;  Mars  causes  fevers,  bladder  and  kid- 
ney troubles,  rupture  of  blood-vessels,  smallpox,  acci- 
dents, burns,  bites,  scalds,  and  death  by  child-birth ;  the 
sun  causes  weak  sight,  brain  diseases,  weakness  of  the 
heart  and  back,  and  palpitation;  Venus  benefits  the 
health  unless  much  afflicted,  when  she  may  cause  flatu- 
lency and  disorders  of  the  genitals,  matrix,  and  veins ; 
Mercury  causes  phthisis,  madness,  imbecility  and  fits ; 
the  moon  causes  weak  sight,  madness,  trouble  with 
menses,  phthisis,  cancer,  and  stomach  troubles. 

For  health  consider  not  only  the  ascendant,  but  also 


82  ASTROLOGY. 

the  sixth  house,  and  bad  aspects  to  the  sun  and 
whether  prorogator  or  not. 

For  general  success  in  life — that  is,  position,  hon- 
ors, and  so  forth — consider  the  midheaven  especially; 
also  Jupiter  and  the  sun.  If  Saturn  be  connected  with 
the  sun  in  the  radical  horoscope,  when  Jupiter  and  the 
sun  come  into  square  or  opposition  there  is  sure  to  be 
ill-success  in  business. 

For  marriage,  consider  the  seventh  house,  and  also 
aspects  of  Venus.  Venus  in  trine,  sextile,  or  conjunction 
with  Jupiter  or  the  midheaven  is  likely  to  produce  mar- 
riage, especially  in  a  woman's  natus. 

For  children  and  their  prospects  consider  the  fifth 
and  eleventh  houses.  Gemini,  Leo,  and  to  some  extent 
Virgo,  are  said  to  be  barren  signs ;  Cancer,  Scorpio,  and 
Pisces  are  fruitful.

THE  HOROSCOPES  OF  BABIES. 

One  piece  of  prediction  and  study  which  ought  to- 
be  studied  with  great  care  and  accuracy  is  that  of  fore- 
casting the  lives  of  babies.  In  India  the  moment  of 
birth  is  watched  with  the  greatest  care  and  timed  by 
three  different  clocks.  Then  the  astrologers  cast  the 
horoscope.  Many  of  us  do  not  know  at  exactly  what 
moment  we  were  born,  and  so  can  never  be  sure  we 
have  our  horoscope  right.  We  should  see  that  the 
future  generation  is  not  under  this  handicap.  Given 
the  exact  moment  of  birth,  directions  of  all  kinds  may 
be  studied  with  much  more  certainty  of  success.

CHAPTER  VIII. 

EXEMPLIFICATION. 

By  way  9f  illustration  of  the  general  method  of  cast- 
ing a  horoscope,  there  follows  the  horoscope  of  the 
author  of  this  book  as  calculated  and  interpreted  by  a 
friend. 

The  date  is  Nov.  30,  1868,  8:20  a.  m.  mean  time. 
The  place  was  a  small  town  in  Michigan,  Latitude  43°, 
Longitude  85°. 

Had  the  birth  been  in  these  later  years,  the  clock 
would  have  shown  standard  time,  which  in  this  case 
would  have  been  a  minute  later.  Eastern  standard  time 
is  true  mean  time  for  longitude  75°,  central  standard 
time  is  true  mean  for  longitude  90°,  mountain  stand- 
ard time  for  longitude  105°,  and  Pacific  time  for  longi- 
tude 120°.  If  the  nativity  is  at  a  point  between  these 
longitudes  the  true  mean  time  may  be  found  by  adding 
or  subtracting  one  minute  for  each  four  degrees  between 
the  longitude  of  the  place  of  birth  and  the  longitude  of 
the  standard  used  at  that  place. 

Some  knowledge  of  the  character  may  be  found  with- 
out any  mathematical  calculations.  Look  in  the  table 
in  Appendix  A,  in  which  you  will  see  that  on  Nov.  30 
each  year  the  sun  is  in  the  sign  of  Sagittarius.  In 
Chapter  III  we  may  read  the  description  of  character 
given  for  the  sun  in  Sagittary.

ASTROLOGY.  85 

In  Table  i  we  may  find  the  exact  longitude  of  the 
sun  for  Nov.  30.  As  1868  is  a  leap  year,  one  day  will 
have  been  inserted  between  Jan.  I  and  Nov.  30,  so  we 
must  take  the  figures  given  for  Dec.  I,  since  this  table 
is  arranged  for  a  common  year.  We  find  this  to  be  the 
335th  day  of  the  year ;  sun's  longitude  249°  2',  or  9°  2' 
in  Sagittary,  and  we  may  note  that  the  sidereal  time  is 
16  h.  40  m.  6  s.,  and  the  declination  is  — 21°  49'. 

The  heliocentric  position  of  the  earth  will  be  just 
180°  less  than  the  apparent  longitude  of  the  sun,  or 
69°  2'.  We  draw  a  circle  and  mark  it  off  like  Fig.  4, 
and  insert  the  earth  in  its  proper  position. 

We  will  next  find  the  heliocentric  positions  of  the 
planets,  beginning  with*  Mercury.  We  look  in  Table  7 
for  the  position  of  the  nearest  January,  that  is,  Jan.  I, 
1869.  Noon  of  Jan.  i,  1869,  will  be  just  32  days  later 
than  noon  of  Nov.  30,  1868.  We  find  the  position  of 
Mercury  for  Jan.  i,  1869,  to  be  277°  41'.  In  Table  4 
we  find  that  the  nearest  longitude  given  is  276°  n', 
which  is  i  °  30'  less  than  that  with  which  we  wish  to 
start.  Since  we  are  taking  a  later  date  and  are  counting 
back,  we  count  back  32  days  in  the  cycle  of  Mercury,  and 
find  longitude  178°  53',  latitude  +5°  14'-  As  we  started 
with  a  longitude  smaller  by  i°  30'  than  was  required, 
we  must  add  this  difference  to  our  final  result  and  we 
get  180°  23',  which  we  enter  in  our  heliocentric  figure. 

We  find  that  the  position  of  Venus  Jan.  i,  1869,  is 
205°  25',  and  by  looking  in  Table  5  we  find  205°  31', 
which  is  so  near  that  no  correction  is  needed.  Counting 
back  32  days  we  find  longitude  153°  44',  which  we  enter 
in  our  figure,  and  latitude  +3°  19'. 


86  ASTROLOGY. 

The  position  of  Mars  for  Jan.  i,  1869,  was  126°  i'. 
We  find  in  Table  6  the  nearest  longitude  is  127°  27', 
with  a  difference  of  i  °  '26'  from  that  we  wish.  Counting 
back  32  days,  or  two  intervals  of  16  days  each,  we  come 
to  112°  59'.  After  subtracting  ?our  correction  of  i°  26' 
we  have  the  heliocentric  longitude  of  Mars  1 1 1  °  23', 
which  we  enter  in  our  figure.  The  latitude  is  -f-i°  40'. 

We  find  the  position  of  Jupiter  Jan.  i,  1869,  to  be 
17°  35',  daily  motion  5'  30".  Multiplying  this  daily 
motion  by  32,  we  get  176'  or  2°  56',  which  we  must  sub- 
tract. The  result,  14°  41',  we  enter  in  our  figure. 
Had  the  time  been  greater,  we  should  have  assumed  an 
average  daily  motion  between  the  Jan.  i  following  and 
the  Jan.  i  preceding,  as  explained  in  Chapter  II.  The 
latitude  we  may  assume  to  be  — 1°  18',  which  will  be 
correct  to  within  half  a  minute. 

The  position  of  Saturn  on  Jan.  I,  1869,  was  249°  n', 
the  daily  motion  i'  50".  Multiplying  the  daily  motion 
by  32  we  get  a  correction  of  59',  which  we  subtract, 
giving  the  correct  longitude  as  248°  12'.  The  latitude 

is+i°43'. 

The  position  of  Uranus  was  105°  23',  daily  motion 
44".  Multiplying  the  daily  motion  by  32,  we  get  a  cor- 
rection of  about  23',  and  subtract  this  from  the  longi- 
tude given.  We  enter  105°  in  our  figure,  and  note  the 
latitude  as  -f  o°  25'. 

The  position  of  Neptune  is  16°  26',  daily  motion  22". 
Multiplying  by  32  we  get  a  correction  of  12',  and  enter 
1 6°  14'  in  our  figure. 

We  now  have  our  heliocentric  horoscope  complete, 
and  may  proceed  to  our  geocentric.

First,  we  should  find  the  cusps  of  the  houses,  as 
shown  in  Fig.  5.  In  Table  7  we  find  the  sidereal  time 
for  1868  to  be  18  h.  41  m.  43  s.,  which  differs  from  that 
for  Jan.  i  in  Table  i  by  im.  345.  We  therefore  subtract 
this  from  the  sidereal  time  which  we  got  (on  the  pre- 
ceding page)  in  Table  i,  and  have  16  h.  38  m.  28  s.  as 
the  true  sidereal  time  for  mean  noon  at  Greenwich. 

The  sidereal  time  at  noon  in  longitudex^5°  will  be 
about  i  m.  more  than  this,  since  85°  corresponds  to  5  h. 
40  m.  of  mean  time,  and  in  that  time  the  sidereal  time  will 
lose  about  595.,  nearly  a  minute.  The  following  table 
will  help  in  correcting  when  careful  work  is  desired:

Our  time  is  8:20  a.  m.,  which  is  3  h.  40  m.  before 
noon.  The  loss  of  sidereal  time  in  this  period  is  just 
about  enough  to  counterbalance  the  gain  between  the 
meridian  of  Greenwich  and  85°,  so  no  correction  need 
have  been  made.  If  the  hour  of  birth  had  been,  say, 
10  o'clock  in  the  evening,  the  total  correction  in  sidereal 
time  would  have  been  that  for  a  period  of  5  h.  40  m.  plus 
10  h.,  nearly  16  h.  This  correction  would  have  been 
2  m.  38  s.,  an  important  matter. 


ASTROLOGY.  89 

We  subtract  our  time  before  noon,  that  is  3  h.  40  m., 
from  the  sidereal  time  of  16  h.  38  m.  28  s.,  giving  us 
12  h.  58  m.  28  s.  as  the  sidereal  time  of  the  moment 
of  birth.  In  Table  12  we  find  the  nearest  sidereal  time 
to  be  12  h.  58  m.  55.,  and  we  proceed  to  take  the  cusps 
of  the  houses  given  for  latitude  40°.  We  observe,  how- 
ever, that  the  ascendant  for  latitude  35°  is  greater,  de- 
creasing between  latitude  35°  and  latitude  40°  by  3°  15'. 
Between  latitude  40°  and  latitude  43°  (the  latitude  given) 
there  will  be  a  further  decrease  of  at  least  three-fifths 
of  this  amount.  In  these  higher  latitudes  the  change 
becomes  more  rapid  even.  The  true  .ascendant  will  be 
found  in  Fig.  5.  We  easily  get  the  cusps  of  houses  2, 
3,  n  and  12,  by  proportion  from  latitude  40°  and  lati- 
tude 35°,  and  observe  that  the  cusp  of  the  loth  house  is 
the  same  for  all  latitudes. 

Having  entered  the  cusps  of  these  six  houses  in  our 
figure,  we  enter  the  same  degree  of  the  opposite  sign 
on  each  opposite  cusp  and  complete  our  figure  as  seen 
in  Fig.  5.  We  find  Aquarius  and  Leo  are  not  repre- 
sented, and  put  them  in  between  the  cusps  of  2  and  3 
for  the  first,  and  8  and  9  for  the  second. 

We  now  take  our  Heliocentric  Chart  No.  I,  and  by 
laying  a  ruler  on  it  so  that  the  straight  edge  will  pass 
exactly  by  the  middle  of  the  sun  and  longitude  69°  on 
the  outer  circle,  we  may  mark  the  earth's  orbit  at  the 
exact  point  the  earth  was  situated  on  Nov.  30,  1868.  In 
like  manner  we  may  mark  on  their  respective  orbits 
the  positions  of  Mercury,  Venus,  and  Mars.  After  pass- 
ing a  long  slim  needle  through  the  center  of  the  Geo- 
centric Circle  at  the  point  where  the  scale  meets  the 


90  ASTROLOGY. 

cross  line,  we  stick  the  needle  down  on  the  orbit  of  the 
earth  at  the  exact  point  where  the  earth  is  located.  We 
soon  see  that  the  geocentric  circle  covers  the  positions 
of  Mercury  and  Venus,  and  take  it  off  while  we  pass  a 
ruler  from  the  position  of  the  earth  past  the  position 
of  each  of  these  planets,  and  mark  a  point  farther  along 
which  will  not  be  covered  by  the  circle.  Once  more 
placing  the  geocentric  circle  in  position  we  make  sure 
that  the  cross  line  is  exactly  parallel  to  the  cross  lines 
of  the  chart.  On  the  scale,  at  each  end  we  may  see  that 
one  end  is  no  higher  than  the  other  from  the  nearest 
cross  line.  We  then  pass  our  ruler  from  the  earth  center 
to  the  points  we  have  marked  for  each  of  the  planets, 
and  read  the  degrees  on  the  margin  of  the  geocentric 
circle.  In  this  way  we  get  21  tt^  for  Mercury,  il/2  "l  for 
Venus,  and  28  SI  for  Mars.  At  this  point  it  is  best  to 
take  the  degrees  in  each  sign.  These  we  enter  in  our 
figure,  as  in  Fig.  5. 

We  next  take  Heliocentric  Chart  No.  2,  and  passing 
our  ruler  from  the  center  to  69°  on  the  outer  circle,  we 
proceed  to  mark  the  point  at  which  our  straight  line 
crosses  each  of  the  smaller  inner  circles.  Then  we  place 
the  needle  point  in  our  geocentric  circle  on  the  point 
we  have  marked  on  the  earth  circle  for  Jupiter,  and  see 
that  the  cross  line  of  this  circle  is  exactly  parallel  with 
one  of  the  cross  lines  in  the  heliocentric  circle.  We  pass 
our  ruler  from  the  center  of  the  earth  to  14^2°  on  the 
outer  circle,  reading  the  degrees  at  which  the  straight 
line  passes  the  geocentric  circle. 

We  next  place  the  center  of  the  geocentric  circle 


ASTROLOGY.  M* 

on  the  earth  positions  for  Saturn,  Uranus,  and  Neptune, 
entering  the  results  in  our  figure. 

We  now  have  the  positions  of  all  our  planets  and 
the  sun.  The  position  of  the  moon  alone  remains  to 
be  found. 

In  Table  3  we  find  the  position  of  the  moon  on  Jan. 
i,  1869,  to  be  141°  7',  latitude  -fc-o°  21'.  Referring  to 
Table  2  we  find  139°  30'  as  the  nearest  longitude,  the 
difference  being  i°  37'.  The  longitude  found  is  for  day 
11.5  in  the  cycle,  so  in  counting  back  we  must  count  to 
every  .5.  This  will  be  an  entire  cycle  and  five  days  more, 
so  we  simply  count  back  five  days  and  find  68°  20'.  In 
passing  the  bottom  of  the  table  we  were  told  to  add 
3°  41',  which  we  do,  getting  72°  i';  and  also  our  other 
correction  of  i°  37',  giving  us  73°  38'.  We  may  take 
4°  30'  as  the  approximate  latitude.*  Assuming  that  the 
change  of  the  moon's  position  in  the  3  h.  40  m.  before 
noon  will  offset  the  38',  we  may  take  13  n  as  the  ap- 
proximate longitude.  In  calculating  primary  directions, 
the  latitude  will  throw  the  position  to  be  reckoned  2° 
farther  on,  or  to  15  n. 

The  declinations  of  the  planets  may  be  found  by  the 
method  suggested  in  Chapter  II.,  but  it  is  better  to  take 
them  from  the-  nautical  almanac  when  a  copy  is  within 
reach. 

The  true  declinations  may  be  seen  in  the  following 
table : 


*Note.  The  latitude  of  the  moon  changes  from  year  to 
year,  and  in  1869  it  was  about  half  a  minute  less  for  the  same 
degree  of  longitude  than  it  was  in  1887,  the  year  from  which  the 
cycle  table  was  adapted.

We  are  now  ready  to  judge  our  horoscopes.  In  the 
heliocentric  horoscope  there  is  little  to  observe  except 
the  aspects  of  Jupiter  and  Uranus,  and  of  Jupiter  and 
Saturn.  There  is  a  square  with  Uranus  and  a  trine  with 
Saturn.  As  Jupiter  is  the  ruling  planet,  these  are  sig- 
nificant. The  square  with  Jupiter  shows  that  the  native 
has  no  magnetism  in  ruling  over  his -fellow  men,  and 
will  never  make  any  money  through  public  favor  or 
good  fortune.  The  trine  with  Saturn,  however,  sug- 
gests making  money  from  sheer  economy  and  good 
management,  and  success  in  the  direction  of  the  serious 
imagination.  Money  may  be  made  through  land,  or 
speculations  that  do  not  require  contact  with  and  influ- 
ence over  the  native's  fellow  men.

nation  is  the  same  within  a  degree  or  two,  whether  north 
or  south.  This  is  a  favorable  aspect. 

First  we  wish  to  see  what  planets  are  strongest,  and 
the  proportion  of  their  strength.  Sagittary  ascends,  and 
Sagittary  is  the  house  of  Jupiter.  Other  things  being 
equal  the  "lord  of  the  ascendant"  will  be  the  ruling 
planet.  In  this  case  Jupiter  is  situated  near  the  nadir, 
a  fortunate  place.  Looking  in  Ptolemy's  table  of  terms 
(see  Chapter  IV),  we  see  that  the  first  six  degrees  of 
Aries  belong  to  Jupiter,  though  Mars  and  Mercury  have 
the  most  degrees.  Whence  we  conclude  that  Jupiter 
though  only  fairly  strong  on  his  own  account  will  help 
Mars  and  Mercury ;  that  is,  strengthen  their  power  if  in 
aspect  with  them,  or  when  in  aspect  by  direction.  In 
the  same  table  we  find  that  the  degree  of  the  ascendant 
is  in  the  term  of  Mars.  So  Jupiter  will  not  be  so  strong 
there  as  this  planet.  But  we  see  that  Jupiter  is  within 
4°  of  trine  with  the  sun  and  Saturn,  in  mundane  (that  is, 
counting  120°  on  the  circle  of  houses)  trine  with  Mer- 
cury, mundane  trine  with  Uranus,  and  mundane  square 
with  the  moon.  On  the  whole  Jupiter  is  decidedly  the 
ruling  planet,  but  being  at  the  nadir  and  for  other  rea- 
sons he  is  a  modifier;  that  is,  he  lends  his  strength  to 
the  others  in  proportion  to  their  strength. 

We  see  Saturn  in  close  conjunction  with  the  sun,  and 
both  are  in  opposition  with  the  moon,  though  not  very 
closely.  This  looks  as  if  Saturn  should  be  very  strong 
in  the  horoscope,  and  perhaps  very  unfortunate.  But 
on  examination  we  find  that  this  is  not  without  offsets. 
The  angle  of  the  ascendant  is  influenced  by  planets  25° 
below  the  horizon  and  5°  above.  So  Saturn  and  the 


94  ASTROLOGY. 

sun  are  out  of  range.  Then,  too,  Saturn,  according  to 
Ptolemy's  table,  is  just  between  the  terms  of  Jupiter 
and  Venus,  his  exact  opposites,  and  he  has  only  6°  in 
the  sign  anyway.  Saturn  is  more  favorable  in  Sagittary 
than  in  any  other  sign.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  in  the 
history  of  the  native  Saturn  made  the  beard  black,  which 
otherwise  would  have  been  brown,  and  when  by  transit 
he  passed  the  ascendant  in  the  thirty-first  year  the  native 
had  a  lingering  illness.  In  disposition,  Saturn  has  given 
reserve  to  a  naturally  hot  and  affectionate  disposition. 
It  will  have  been  observed,  of  course,  that  Saturn  has 
no  bad  aspects  of  importance  to  rouse  him,  except  a 
distant  square  to  Mars,  his  opposite  and  restrainer,  and 
that  he  is  helped  by  the  trine  of  Jupiter.  Mars  counter- 
balances Saturn,  preventing  weakness  of  the  lungs,  etc. 
When  Mars  came  into  trine  with  the  ascendant  by  direc- 
tion in  the  native's  twelfth  year,  our  subject  had  the 
measles. 

We  next  observe  that  Mercury  is  the  ruling  planet  of 
the  midheaven,  and  by  referring  to  Ptolemy's  table  of 
terms,  we  find  that  he  is  in  his  own  term.  He  also  rules 
the  descendant  or  western  angle,  in  Jupiter's  term,  and 
the  nadir  or  lower  angle  is  in  the  term  of  Mercury.  He 
is  just  above  the  sun  in  the  heaven,  which  gives  him 
strength  according  to  Ptolemy.  •  More  than  this,  he  is 
in  trine  with  Uranus,  a  highly  favorable  relationship  for 
judging  human  character  and  motive,  for  the  study  of 
the  occult,  and  for  mathematics  as  an  imaginative  sci- 
ence. His  position  in  Scorpio  in  the  terms  of  Jupiter 
and  Venus  gives  great  tenacity  of  mind  and  patience  in 
thought. 


ASTROLOGY.  95 

Having  determined  the  leading  planets  and  their 
strength,  we  may  take  up  the  horoscope  in  detail.  The 
general  description  of  the  physical  appearance  of  the 
native  is  correctly  given  under  Sagittary  in  Appendix 
D,  and  we  find  much  the  same  under  the  description  of 
the. sun  in  Sagittary  in  Chapter  III.  Saturn  in  the  sign 
gives  a  black  beard,  however,  and  Mars  not  far  from 
trine  with  the  ascendant  gives  red  hairs  among  the 
black  in  the  beard.  The  skin  is  light,  the  eyes  blue,  and 
the  native  began  to  be  bald  at  twenty-five. 

See  also  description  under  the  proper  moon  sign 
in  Appendix  C. 

Next  let  us  consider  the  profession.  For  this  we  look 
to  the  loth  house,  and  see  that  Venus  determines  the 
choice.  But  Mercury  rules  the  sign  and  the  term  of  the 
sign,  while  Saturn  is  strong  in  the  sign.  Jupiter  is  in 
opposition  to  the  early  degrees  of  the  sign,  in  the  third 
house.  The  third  house  suggests  authorship. "  Mercury 
gives  the  powers  of  mind  suitable  for  authorship,  and 
the  trine  of  Uranus  gives  the  power  to  study  human 
nature  successfully.  Venus  is  in  sextile  with  Mars, 
which  indicates  fondness  for  and  influence  over  women. 
Venus  gives  also  grace  and  love  of  beauty,  and  fond- 
ness for  color.  All  these  things  favoi  the  profession 
suggested. 

Venus  is  also  the  prorogator  of  life,  suggesting  that 
devotion  to  his  profession  will  be  coincident  with  the 
native's  life  and  probably  have  much  to  do  with  his 
death. 

Next,  let  us  look  for  the  wife.  For  this  we  examine 
the  seventh  house  and  the  moon.  We  see  Uranus  in  the 


96  ASTROLOGY. 

seventh  house,  applying  to  conjunction  with  the  moon. 
The  character  of  the  wife  must  therefore  be  that  of 
Uranus,  namely  magnetic,  fond  of  people,  original  and 
likely  to  do  unexpected  things.  The  sign  on  the  cusp 
is  ruled  by  Mercury,  and  hence  we  may  expect  a  bril- 
liant wife  of  a  rather  eccentric  character.  Marriage 
should  come  in  the  first  half  of  life.  (See  Ptolemy  in 
Chapter  X.) 

In  conclusion,  let  us  examine  a  few  important  direc- 
tions. Secondary  directions  may  be  chosen  in  examin- 
ing the  moon  and  Mercury,  which  move  rapidly,  the 
moon  making  the  entire  circuit  in  less  than  28  days, 
which  correspond  to  so  many  years.  The  mind  on  its 
sympathetic  side  is  ruled  by  the  moon,  and  when  it 
comes  into  relation  with  Mercury  it  is  likely  to  cause 
success  in  mental  effort.  The  moon  also  causes  travel. 
By  referring  to  our  table  of  the  moon  cycle,  and  starting 
with  73°,  we  see  that  to  travel  to  the  position  of  Mercury 
in  231°  would  require  about  eleven  days.  Mercury 
would  also  have  moved  several  degrees  in  that  time. 
We  may  consider  both  the  original  position  of  Mercury 
and  its  succeeding  position.  At  eleven  years  of  age  the 
native  left  home  and  went  away  to  school,  where  he 
attained  marked  success,  and  in  the  year  or  two  suc- 
ceeding made  a  brilliant  record  in  school  work.  The 
moon  would  pass  Jupiter  in  about  twenty  days.  At 
twenty  years  of  age  the  native  left  school  and  expe- 
rienced his  first  burst  of  ambition  in  life.  At  about  the 
age  of  eleven  Mercury  coming  in  conjunction  with  the 
ascendant  would  help  the  brilliancy  in  school  indicated 
by  the  moon  coming  in  conjunction  with  Mercury.  The 


ASTROLOGY.  97 

moon  and  Mercury  will  both  meet  at  about  the  position 
of  the  ascendant,  two  years  later,  and  this  was  indeed 
the  period  of  greatest  success  in  school  life.  At  the 
same  period  Jupiter  came  into  trine  with  Mercury  by 
primary  direction,  as  well  as  by  the  method  of  calcula- 
tion on  the  equatorial  circle. 

Let  us  now  direct  the  ascendant  by  primary  direction 
to  conjunction  with  Saturn.  An  illness  should  be  the 
result.  To  be  accurate,  we  should  find  the  difference 
in  right  ascension  by  Table  n,  but  as  the  distance  is 
short  the  difference  in  longitude  will  be  sufficiently  accu- 
rate. Thus  difference  is  a  little  over  13°.  The  ascen- 
sional difference  for  the  declination  of  this  longitude 
(23°  10',  which  we  find  by  Table  i)  is  half  way  between 
21*4  and  23;  let  us  say  22.  Dividing  90°  by  13,  we  get 
approximately  7,  which  means  that  we  must  subtract 
from  13  one-seventh  of  22,  or  three.  This  gives  the  age 
of  10.  It  corresponds  to  the  death  of  the  father. 

We  note  here  that  there  is  a  curious  relationship 
between  the  horoscopes  of  the  members  of  a  family.  It 
is  so  close,  so  very  remarkable  (as  has  been  proved  in 
many  cases),  that  we  find  a  curious  harmony  between 
astrology  and  heredity.  And  this  makes  it  reasonable 
that  we  may  find  the  death  of  father  or  mother  so  surely 
in  every  horoscope. 

Let  us  next  direct  Venus  to  the  ascendant  in  order 
to  find  at  what  age  the  native  chose  his  profession  in 
life.  By  looking  for  the  ascensional  difference  corre- 
sponding to  the  declination  of  Venus  we  find  gl/2° .  The 
proportional  part  of  this  is  approximately  2,  making  tha 
age  between  17  and  18.  Up  to  this  time  the  native  had 


ASTROLOGY. 

no  thought  of  being  an  author,  but  rather  expected  to 
make  use  of  his  mathematical  talents  in  engineering. 
But  at  about  this  age  a  complete  change  came  about. 

Directing  Jupiter  to  the  square  of  Saturn  and  the 
sun  by  the  third  method  of  directions,  we  come  upon 
a  period  of  great  financial  reverse.  A  train  of  bad  direc- 
tions follows  at  this  time.  First  is  the  square  of  Jupiter 
to  the  moon;  then  his  square  to  the  sun  and  Saturn; 
and  finally  the  transit  of  Saturn  over  its  position  at 
birth,  which  occurred  in  the  thirtieth  year  and  caused 
a  financial  fiasco.  We  have  already  referred  to  the  illness 
caused  by  the  passage  of  Saturn  over  the  degree  of  the 
ascendant  in  the  thirty-first  year. 

We  have  calculated  these  directions  very  loosely, 
because  we  do  not  wish  to  lead  the  student  to  take  them 
too  seriously.  Something  may  be  gained  from  them ; 
but  as  the  exact  moment  of  birth  is  known  but  inexactly 
in  most  cases,  and  our  knowledge  of  methods  of  calcu- 
lating directions  is  hazy,  nothing  very  certain  can  be 
known. 

In  any  case,  a  bad  direction  is  not  to  be  looked  on 
as  an  absolute  fate.  It  is  only  a  tendency  which  may 
often  be  overcome  by  determined  effort. 


CHAPTER  IX. 

THE  USES  AND  DIFFICULTIES  OP    ASTROLOGY. 

The  great,  the  really  overwhelming,  difficulty  with 
astrology  lies  in  the  fact  that  half  its  value  lies  in  our 
power  to  interpret  human  nature.  Unless  we  know  how 
the  mind  of  man  works,  astrology  makes  no  revelation, 
to  us.  *  To  those  supersensitive  people  who  by  a  strange 
exaltation  of  their  faculties  seem  to  read  the  very  sou^ 
of  life,  even  when  they  are  totally  uneducated,  astrology 
serves  as  a  rough  guide  which  enables  them  to  make 
predictions  which  stagger  our  very  senses.  And  for  the 
same  reason  the  most  astute  reasoner  and  man  of  infinite 
learning  fails  in  the  art  of  astrology  (if  we  may  so 
speak  of  it)  just  because  he  lacks  that  fine,  delineate 
intuition  which  enables  him  to  follow  the  complex  fluc- 
tuations of  human  thought,  feeling,  and  life  in  general. 

The  case  is  the  same  with  art  and  literature,  for  the 
most  learned  man  cannot  paint  a  picture  or  write  a 
novel  of  value  unless  he  has  the  unanalysable,  intuitive 
knowledge  of  human  nature,  which  is  a  gift  of  the  gods, 
as  Ptolemy  puts  it.  So  in  precisely  the  same  way,  pre- 
diction in  astrology  may  be  called  an  art,  because  it 
requires  the  delicate  imagination  of  the  novelist  or  artist 
to  discover  accurate  truth  in  the  rough  indications  which, 
our  knowluedge  of  the  heavens  afford. 

But  here  we  are  concerned  only  with  the  scientific 
side  of  astrology,  the  side  that  the  ordinary  man  can 


100  ASTROLOGY. 

understand  and  utilize  for  practical  purposes.  And  to 
start  with  we  may  as  well  say  clearly  and  distinctly  that 
he  cannot  make  predictions,  except  of  the  most  general 
kind.  Nevertheless  astrology  has  enormous  uses.  A 
very  small  principle  is  often  a  good  basis  for  very  many 
practical  inventions. 

The  first  great  use  of  astrology  is  in  the  fact  that  it 
gives  us  a  general  key  to  our  own  characters.  It  is 
impossible  for  us  to  judge  ourselves  by  our  own  feel- 
ings, and  for  very  many  of  us  self-judgment  under  any 
circumstances  is  doubtless  an  impossibility  from  the  fact 
that  we  are  too  much  prejudiced  in  our  own  favor.  But 
there  are  some  candid  souls  who  really  do  wish  to  under- 
stand their  powers  and  capabilities,  and  astrology  will, 
if  rightly  used,  enable  them  to  do  that. 

But  astrology  is  also  a  key  to  the  characters  of 
others,  and  here  it  can  be  of  the  utmost  use.  How  many 
parents  would  not  give  half  they  possess  to  understand 
their  children,  to  know  accurately  their  tendencies, 
their  weaknesses,  their  secret  abilities!  How  many 
men  would  not  like  to  have  some  reliable  chart  of  the 
character  of  those  other  men  with  whom  they  are  going 
into  partnership  in  business !  How  many  men  and 
women  about  to  marry  would  not  like  to  know  more  of 
each  other  than  the  glare  of  a  few  nights  in  a  ball-room 
makes  at  all  possible ! 

And  then  there  is  the  matter  of  personal  friendship ! 
How  many  friendships  begin  in  sunshine  and  end  in  a 
deep  cloud  of  disappointment !  And  then  what  unac- 
countable attractions  there  are  between  men  and 
women !  Astrology  on  the  scientific  theory  I  have  set 


ASTROLOGY.  101 

forth  gives  a  most  striking  key  to  such  anomalies  as 
love  at  first  sight  and  hatred  at  first  sight.  And  I  will 
take  occasion  here  to  explain  this  most  interesting  appli- 
cation of  the  science. 

When  the  crystals  are  really  formed  and  hardened 
with  years,  we  suppose  that  they  cause  the  ether  passing 
through  them  to  vibrate  at  a  certain  rate,  so  that  each 
person  goes  about  the  world  radiating  from  himselt 
ethereal  vibrations  of  a  certain  definite  kind,  just  as  we 
know  that  he  goes  about  giving  out  a  peculiar  and  defi- 
nite odor,  which  is  not  always  pleasing.  We  know  that 
peoples  whose  odor  is  different  one  from  the  other,  as 
Mongolians  and  Caucasians,  or  Ethiopians  and  Cauca- 
sians, find  each  other  disagreeable,  and  in  the  same  way 
people  whose  subtle  vibrations  of  nerve  and  body,  trans- 
mitted by  the  ether,  are  different,  experience  a  repulsion, 
while  harmony  of  these  vibrations  produces  a  pleas- 
urable attraction.  To  this  law,  too  subtle  for  direct 
human  observation,  we  find  a  key  in  astrology.  A  man 
whose  moon  is  exactly  on  the  same  place  in  the  heavens 
as  the  sun  of  a  woman  will  be  sure  to  fall  in  love  with  her 
and  she  with  him.  If  his  sun  is  on  the  place  of  her 
Saturn  she  will  probably  hate  him,  experiencing  all  the 
feelings  of  coldness  and  reserve  indicated  by  Saturn's 
nature ;  and  the  man  may  fall  in  love  with  her  while 
hating  himself  for  doing  it.  Mars  on  Jupiter  will  pro- 
duce a  strange,  spontaneous  attraction  which  will  lead 
to  fiery  quarrels.  Any  planet,  good  or  bad,  exactly  on 
the  place  of  the  same  planet  in  another  horoscope  will 
produce  sympathy  in  the  side  of  the  nature  indicated  by 
the  planet. 


102  ASTROLOGY. 

But  the  range  of  mutual  influence  is  still  greater 
than  that  indicated  by  conjunction.  Harmony  is  pro- 
duced by  the  sun  or  moon  being  in  trine  or  sextile  with 
the  sun  or  moon  in  the  horoscope  of  the  other.  If  in 
the  case  of  a  marriage  the  sun  in  one  is  in  trine  or 
sextile  to  the  moon  in  the  other,  and  the  moon  in  the 
second  has  a  similarly  favorable  aspect  to  the  sun  in  the 
first,  the  couple  are  very  likely  to  live  together  extremely 
happily.  Also  if  the  midheaven,  western  angle,  nadir, 
or  ascendant  of  one  is  on  one  of  these  angles  in  the 
other,  harmony  is  produced.  But  if  the  ascendant  in 
one  is  in  square  to  the  ascendant  in  the  other  the  reverse 
is  true.  The  square  or  opposition  of  antagonistic  plan- 
ets is  sure  to  produce  trouble,  and  sometimes  the  trine 
or  sextile  of  opposing  planets  does  not  result  well, 
though  generally  it  is  not  a  bad  thing.  • 

In  very  intimate  relations  several  of  these  testimo- 
nies should  occur.  In  the  case  of  my  wife,  her  Mars  is 
exactly  on  mine,  and  both  are  in  conjunction  with  the 
fixed  star  Regulus.  Her  Venus  is  very  near  mine.  Her 
Jupiter  is  in  conjunction  with  her  moon  very  nearly 
on  my  midheaven,  exactly  in  sextile  to  my  sun.  Her 
sun  is  in  exact  sextile  with  my  Mercury  and  very  nearly 
fn  sextile  with  my  moon. 

Saturn  is  also  harmoniously  configurated  in  both. 
We  also  supply  each  other's  defects.  My  sun  is  weak, 
her  sun  is  strong;  my  moon  is  strong,  her  moon  is 
weak ;  her  Mercury  is  in  an  open  angle,  mine  in  a  blind 
angle.  And  so  forth.  This  is  a  most  remarkable  case*. 
There  is  not  a  conflict,  and  every  planet  and  the  sun 
and  moon  are  harmoniously  related.  I  think  above  I 


ASTROLOGY.  103 

have  mentioned  all  but  Uranus.  He  is  in  her  horoscope 
in  exact  trine  with  my  ascendant  and  in  sextile  with 
my  moon ;  my  Uranus  is  in  sextile  with  her  sun,  and 
her  Neptune  is  in  trine  with  our  joint  Mars.  When  the 
gods  dealt  out  my  matrimonial  fate  they  gave  me  a  flush. 
Most  people  should  be  content  with  a  full  house. 

I  once  met  a  young  lady  who  had  a  njost  marked 
spontaneous  attraction  for  me,  which  I  recipro- 
cated. I  afterward  found  out  that  her  Jupiter  was  on 
iny  Mercury  and  her  moon  on  my  Venus,  and  her 
Uranus  was  in  sextile  to  my  moon  and  trine  with  my 
Mercury,  and  I  believe  some  other  relations.  When 
for  the  first  time  I  came  into  the  room  (a  reception  roqm 
filled  with  people)  where  she  was  she  was  struck  with 
consternation  at  seeing  the  form  and  figure  of  a  man 
she  had  dreamed  of  the  night  before,  and  instantly  we 
became  friends.  Our  suns  and  moons  being  unrelated 
we  did  not  fall  in  love,  but  merely  became  most  excel- 
lent friends. 

Damon  and  Pythias  and  David  and  Jonathan  must 
have  had  some  such  planetary  configuration  as  the  above 
carried  to  a  greater  extent.  The  strongest  affection 
proceeds  from  the  moon  or  ruling  planet  of  the  one 
being  on  the  sun  of  the  other,  and  vice  versa. 

Another  circumstance  of  great  interest  to  the  sci- 
entific is  the  harmony  of  configuration  between  the 
horoscopes  of  parents  and  children.  The  ascendant  or 
midheaven  of  the  son  is  very  often  the  nadir  or  western 
angle  of  the  father  or  mother.  Indeed  there  are  many 
things  that  show  that  the  planetary  influence  goes  back 
of  birth,  and  so  militates  against  the  theory  of  crystal- 


104  ASTROLOGY. 

lizatioo  as  being  the  entire  explanation.  It  seems  as  if 
certain  parents  could  not  bear  children  except  at  certain 
times,  and  the  character  and  vitality  of  the  parent  seem 
to  determine  the  time  of  birth  of  the  child  as  favorable 
or  unfavorable.  I  suppose  that  heredity  is  the  reigning 
law  up  to  the  moment  of  birth  and  determines  the  child 
while  in  the  womb,  while  the  influence  of  the  heavenly 
light  gives  the  individual  bent  of  character.  In  miner- 
alogy we  know  that  a  poor  solution  will  not  give  perfect 
crystals,  and  so  poor  parents  will  give  a  very  inferior 
uncrystallized  babe  for  the  light  to  work  upon.  The 
amount  of  vitality  must  be  hereditary,  and  the  unborn 
babe  must  have  a  certain  character  even  before  crys- 
tallization gives  him  his  sharp  individualities.  At  the 
same  time  the  process  of  crystallization  and  the  law  of 
heredity  seem  markedly,  strangely  in  harmony  with  each 
other.  We  may  say  that  heredity  makes  for  similarity, 
crystallization  for  individuality.  Heredity  alone  does 
not  explain  why  children  are  sometimes  so  utterly  dif- 
ferent from  their  parents,  though  it  easily  explains  why 
they  are  often  so  like. 

Another  practical  use  to  which  astrology  can  be  put 
is  in  predicting  or  at  least  foreshadowing  states  of 
health.  This  process  does  not  require  very  much  of 
the  "artistic"  talent;  the  average  man  can  judge  fairly 
correctly,  and  the  success  or  failure  of  the  prediction 
can  be  easily  and  definitely  verified.  Until  within  a  very 
short  time,  comparatively  speaking,  astrology  was  al- 
ways used  by  physicians,  and  by  them  more  than  by 
any  other  class.  And  today  it  is  physicians  who  could 
do  most  to  investigate  the  subject,  because  they  are 


ASTROLOGY.  105 

enabled  to  observe  exactly  the  minute  of  birth,  and 
often  are  so  intimately  connected  with  a  family  that  they 
can  follow  the  private  history  of  the  child  for  many 
years.  One  of  the  most  eminent  physicians  in  Boston 
makes  use  of  it  continually  and  with  the  greatest  suc- 
cess. To  the  astonishing  things  he  told  me  in  his  med- 
ical experience  with  astrology  I  owe  my  first  definite 
interest  in  the  study.  And  that  first  evening  I  met  him 
he  predicted,  without  even  knowing  the  hour  of  my 
birth,  that  I  would  become  to  some  extent  a  leader  in 
astrology.  I  laughed  at  the  idea,  but  here  I  find  myself 
writing  a  book. 

With  all  its  difficulties  and  uncertainties,  a  "well 
regulated  astrology,"  as  Sir  Thomas  Browne  calls  it, 
should  be  of  the  greatest  practical  value.  But  first  wp 
should  discountenance  the  fakirs,  as  we  do  the  quacks 
in  medicine. 


CHAPTER  X. 
PTOLEMY'S  RULES  FOR  JUDGING  FORTUNE.* 

Wealtk. 

The  circumstances  regulating  the  fortune  of  wealth 
are  to  be  judged  from  that  part  alone  which  is  expressly 
denominated  the  Part  of  Fortune ;  the  position  of  which 
is  in  all  cases,  whether  arising  in  the  day  or  in  the  night, 
always  as  far  from  the  ascendant  as  the  sun  is  distant 
from  the  moon. 

When  the  Part  of  Fortune  has  been  determined,  it 
must  be  ascertained  to  what  planets  the  dominion  of  it 
belongs ;  and  their  power  and  connection,  as  also  the 
power  and  connection  of  others  configurated  with  them, 
or  in  elevation  above  them,  whether  of  the  same  or  of 
an  adverse  condition,  are  then  to  be  observed,  for,  if 
the  planets  which  assume  dominion  of  the  Part  of  For- 
tune be  in  full  force,  they  will  create  much  wealth,  and 
especially  should  the  luminaries  also  give  them  suitable 
testimony  in  addition. 

In  this  manner  Saturn  will  affect  the  acquirement 
of  wealth  by  means  of  buildings,  agriculture,  or  naviga- 
tion; Jupiter,  by  holding  some  government  position  or 
office  of  trust,  or  by  the  priesthood ;  Mars,  by  the  army 
and  military  command;  Venus,  by  means  of  friends,  by 
the  dowry  of  wives,  or  by  other  gifts  proceeding  from 
women;  and  Mercury,  by  the  sciences  and  by  trade. 

*J.  M.  Ashmand's  translation  has  been  used  for  the  most 
part 

106 


ASTROLOGY.  107 

(It  may  be  added  for  modern  readers  that  Mercury  in- 
dicates law,  politics,  etc.,  as  a  source  of  wealth,  and 
Venus  art,  literature,  and  the  like,  especially  in  combi- 
nation with  Mercury.) 

Should  Saturn,  however,  when  thus  ir  influence  over 
the  fortune  of  wealth  be  also  configurated  with  Jupiter, 
he  particularly  provides  wealth  through  inheritance, 
especially  if  the  configuration  should  exist  in  superior 
angles,  Jupiter  being  also  in  a  bicorporeal  sign  and 
receiving  the  application  of  the  moon ;  for  in  such  a  case 
the  native  will  also  be  adopted  by  persons  unallied  to 
him,  and  will  become  heir  to  their  property. 

And  further,  if  other  stars  of  the  same  condition  as 
those  which  rule  the  Part  of  Fortune  should  likewise 
exhibit  testimonies  of  dominion,  the  wealth  will  be  per- 
manent; but  on  the  other  hand,  if  stars  of  an  adverse 
condition  should  either  be  in  elevation  above  the  ruling 
places  or  ascend  in  succession  to  them,  the  wealth  will 
not  continue.  The  general  period  of  its  duration,  how- 
ever, is  to  be  calculated  by  means  of  the  arc  of  direction 
between  the  planets  operating  the  loss  and  the  places 
which  give  wealth. 

Position  in  the  World. 

The  dispositions  of  the  luminaries  and  the  respective 
familiarities  exercised  by  the  stars  attending  them  are 
to  be  considered  as  indicative  of  position  in  the  world. 
(Placidus  takes  the  dignities  from  the  sun  and  mid- 
heaven,  according  to  Ptolemy.) 

For  example,  should  the  two  luminaries  be  found 
in  masculine*  signs  and  in  angles,  or  even  if  only  one  of 

*Aries  is  a  masculine  sign,  and  so  is  every  second  sign  fol- 
lowing. Taurus  and  every  second  sign  following  are  feminine. 


108  ASTROLOGY. 

them  be  in  an  angle,  they  being  at  the  same  time  spe- 
cially attended  by  a  doryphory  (planets  situated  in  de- 
grees of  the  zodiac  near  the  luminary  in  question)  com- 
posed of  all  the  five  planets,  the  sun  by  such  as  are 
oriental,  but  the  moon  by  occidental,  the  persons  then 
about  to  be  born  will  consequently  become  kings  and 
princes.  (In  regard  to  what  is  meant  by  attending 
planets,  Placidus  says:  "You  are  not  to  observe  what 
is  generally  alleged  respecting  the  doryphory  of  the 
luminaries  for  dignities,  namely,  that  the  doryphory  in- 
cludes only  those  planets  which  are  found  within  30°  on 
either  side  of  the  luminaries.  Any  kind  of  aspect  of 
the  stars  to  the  luminaries  of  what  kind  soever  are  to 
be  included ;  and  if  the  aspect  be  made  by  application — 
that  is,  the  star  be  approaching  the  aspect  in  the  order 
of  the  zodiac — its  power  extends  inwardly  over  the 
whole  orb  of  light  of  the  aspectfng  planet,  and  more  so 
as  the  proximity  is  greater;  but  by  separation  it  is  not 
so.  This  doctrine  may  be  seen  in  several  chapters  of 
Ptolemy ;  for  an  aspecting  star  influences  the  signifi- 
cator,  and  disposes  him  to  produce  effects  co-natural  to 
him,  by  a  subsequent  direction.  But  a  star  of  no  aspect 
does  not  predispose  the  significator,  and  produces  very 
little  or  no  effect  of  its  nature  by  a  subsequent  direc- 
tion.") And  if  the  attendant  stars  should  also  be  in 
angles,  or  configurated  with  the  angle  above  the  earth 
(midheaven),  the  said  persons  will  become  great,  power- 
ful, and  mighty  in  the  world ;  and  even  yet  more  abun- 
dantly so,  provided  the  configurations  made  by  the 
attendant  stars  with  the  angles  above  the  earth  be  dexter. 
But  when  the  luminaries  may  not  be  found  in  masculine 


ASTROLOGY.  109 

signs  as  aforesaid,  but  the  sun  only  in  a  masculine  sign 
and  the  moon  in  a  feminine  sign  and  only  one  ol  them 
posited  in  an  angle,  the  other  concomitant  circumstances 
still  existing  in  the  mode  above  described,  the  persons 
about  to  be  born  will  become  mighty  chieftains,  invested 
with  sovereignty  of  life  and  death. 

And  if  the  attendant  stars,  while  the  luminaries  may 
be  situated  in  the  manner  last  mentioned,  should  be, 
neither  actually  in  angles  nor  bear  any  testimony  to  the 
angles,  the  person  then  born,  although  he  will  still  enjoy 
eminence,  will  attain  only  limited  dignity  or  distinction ; 
such  as  that  of  a  delegated  governor,  or  commander  of 
an  army  or  dignitary  of  the  priesthood,  and  he  will  not 
be  invested  with  sovereignty. 

If,  however,  neither  of  the  luminaries  be  in  an  angle, 
or  configurated  with  the  angles,  the  persons  then  born 
will  not  attain  any  very  eminent  rank;  yet  they  will  fake 
a  leading  part  in  ordinary  civil  and  municipal  affairs ; 
but  should  the  attendant  stars  have  no  configuration 
with  the  angles,  they  will  then  remain  altogether  undis- 
tinguished and  without  advancement ;  and  provided,  fur- 
ther, that  neither  of  the  luminaries  be  found  situated 
in  a  masculine  sign,  nor  in  an  angle,  nor  be  attended 
by  any  benefics,  they  will  be  born  to  complete  obscurity 
and  adversity. 

(Ptolemy  speaks  of  the  conditions  of  society  in  his 
own  time  when  he  refers  to  persons  born  under  certain 
planetary  conditions  as  likely  to  become  kings  and 
princes,  or  chieftains,  governors,  or  the  like.  In  our 
time  this  would  mean,  persons  born  under  the  most 
favorable  planetary  conditions  would  become  foremost 


110  ASTROLOGY. 

in  the  social  world,  in  politics,  or  in  business  firms  or 
corporations ;  and  so  with  the  other  arrangements  of 
planetary  conditions  of  which  he  speaks.  Rank  or  dig- 
nity in  our  times  and  in  our  society  means  social  posi- 
tion.) 

The  general  appearance  of  exaltation  or  debasement 
of  rank  is  to  be  contemplated,  as  before  stated,  but  there 
are  many  gradations  intermediate  to  those  already  speci- 
fied, and  requiring  observation  of  the  particular  inter<- 
changes  and  variations,  incidental  to  the  luminaries 
themselves  and  their  doryphory,  and  also  to  the  domin- 
ion of  the  planets  which  compose  their  doryphory.  For 
instance,  should  the  benefics  or  stars  of  the  same  condi- 
tion exercise  the  chief  dominion,  the  dignities  to  be 
acquired  will  be  not  only  more  important,  but  also  more 
securely  established;  and  on  the  other  hand,  if  the  chief 
dominion  be  claimed  by  malefics,  or  by  stars  of  an  ad- 
verse condition,  the  dignities  will  be  more  subordinate 
and  more  dangerous  and  evanescent. 

The  species  of  dignity  may  be  inferred  by  observing 
the  peculiar  qualities  of  the  attendant  stars ;  and  if  Sat- 
urn have  chief  dominion  of  the  doryphory  the  power 
and  authority  derived  therefrom  will  lead  to  wealth  and 
profit ;  authority  proceeding  from  Jupiter  and  Venus  will 
be  pleasurable ;  that  proceeding  from  Mars  will  consist 
in  commanding  armies,  in  obtaining  victories,  and  in 
overawing  the  vanquished,  and  that  proceeding  from 
Mercury  will  be  intellectual,  such  as  superintending  edu- 
cation and  study,  and  directing  the  management  of  busi- 
ness or  in  one  of  the  learned  professions. 


ASTROLOGY.  Ill 

The  Kind  of  Profession  or  Employment. 

The  dominion  of  the  employment  or  profession  is 
claimed  in  two  qualities,  viz.,  by  the  sun  and  by  the  sign 
on  the  midheaven. 

It  is  therefore  necessary  to  observe  whether  any 
planet  may  be  making  its  oriental  appearance  nearest 
the  sun,  and  whether  any  be  posited  in  the  midheaven, 
especially  when  also  receiving  the  application  of  the 
•moon.  And  if  one  and  the  same  planet  possesses  these 
qualifications — that  is  to  say,  makes  its  nearest  appear- 
ance to  the  sun  and  be  also  in  the  midheaven,  one  alone 
must  be  elected  to  determine  th'e  present  inquiry;  and 
likewise  though  the  planet  should  not  be  thus  doubly 
qualified,  but  only  singly,  in- whichever  aspect,  even  then 
that  planet  alone  must  still  be  elected,  provided  itself 
alone  should  possess  such  single  qualification.  If,  how- 
ever, there  should  be  one  planet  presenting  its  nearest 
appearance,  and  another  in  the  midheaven  conciliating 
with  the  moon,  both  must  be  noted ;  and  whichever  of 
these  may  have  greater  sway  and  possess  greater  rights 
of  dominion,  that  one  will  be  preferred.  But  where  not 
any  planet  may  be  found  so  situated,  neither  making  its 
appearance  as  above  described,  nor  being  in  the  mid- 
heaven,  then  that  one  possessing  the  dominion  of  the 
midheaven  is  to  be  considered  as  lord  of  the  employment. 
It  is,  however,  only  some  occasional  occupation  wKich 
can  be  thus  denoted;  because  persons  born  under  such 
a  configuration  most  commonly  remain  at  leisure  and 
unemployed. 

What  has  now  been  said  relates  to  the  election  of  the 
lord  of  the  employment  or  profession ;  but  the  species 


112  ASTROLOGY. 

of  the  employment  will  be  distinguished  by  means  of 
the  respective  properties  of  the  three  planets,  Mars, 
Venus,  Mercury,  and  of  the  signs  in  which  they  may  be 
posited. 

Mercury,  for  instance,  produces  writers,  superin- 
tendents of  business,  accountants,  teachers  in  the  sci- 
ences, merchants,  bankers,  in  short  all  who  live  by  the 
exercise  of  literature  and  by  furnishing  explanation  or 
interpretation,  as  well  as  by  stipend  and  salary  or  allowr 
ance.  If  Saturn  bear  testimony  jointly  with  Mercury, 
persons  then  born  will  become  managers  of  the  affairs 
of  others.  But  if  Jupiter  join  testimony  they  will  be 
painters,  orators,  or  pleaders  in  arguments,  and  occupied 
with  eminent  personages. 

Should  Venus  have  dominion  of  the  employment  she 
will  cause  persons  to  be  engaged  in  various  indoor  em- 
ployments requiring  taste,  sense  of  color,  smell,  artistic 
proportion,  etc.,  such  as  the  drapery  business,  drugs, 
decoration,  and  the  like  ;  in  fact,  any  employment  requir- 
ing the  exercise  of  the  senses,  even  the  sense  of  taste, 
as  in  the  case  of  the  wine-merchant.  If  Saturn  add  his 
testimony  to  hers,  he  will  cause  persons  to  be  employed 
in  matters  belonging  to  amusement  and  architecture, 
and  will  also  produce  jugglers,  charlatans,  etc.  But  if 
Jupiter  join  testimony  with  Venus,  persons  will  be  ad- 
vanced in  honor  through  female  interest. 

Mars  ruling  the  employment  and  being  configurated 
with  the  sun  will  produce  persons  who  operate  by  means 
of  fire;  for  instance  cooks,  as  well  as  those  who  work 
in  copper,  brass,  and  other  metals,  by  melting,  burning, 
and  casting.  .If  Mars  be  separated  from  the  sun  he  will 


ASTROLOGY.  113 

make  shipwrights,  smiths,  agriculturists,  stonemasons, 
carpenters  and  subordinate  laborers.  If  Saturn  bear 
testimony  in  addition  to  Mars,  persons  will  become 
mariners,  workers  in  mills,  vaults,  or  mines,  painters  of 
houses,  keepers  of  beasts  or  cattle,  cooks,  butchers,  and 
attendants  on  exhibitions.  And  if  Jupiter  join  testi- 
mony they  will  be  soldiers  or  mechanics,  collectors  of 
revenue,  innkeepers,  or  toll-gatherers. 

Further,  should  it  happen  that  two  arbiters  of  em- 
ployment may  be  found  together  and  provided  they 
should  be  Mercury  and  Venus,  they  will  then  produce 
musicians,  melodists,  and  persons  engaged  in  music, 
poetry,  or  songs.  They  will  also  (especially  if  located  in 
each  other's  dignities)  become  mimics,  actors,  makers 
of  musical  instruments,  choristers  and  musical  perform- 
ers, dancers,  modelers  in  wax,  and  painters.  And  if 
Saturn  join  testimony  with  Mercury  and  Venus,  the 
preparation  and  sale  of  female  ornaments  will  be  added 
to  the  aforesaid  occupations.  But  if  Jupiter  give  testi- 
mony, the  persons  will  become  administrators  of  justice, 
guardians  of  public  affairs,  instructors  of  youth,  and 
magistrates  of  the  people. 

Should  Mercury  and  Mars  together  be  lords  of  the 
employment,  persons  will  become  statuaries,  armor- 
makers,  sculptors,  modellers  of  animals,  surgeons,  spies 
or  informers,  adulterers,  busy  in  crime,  and  forgers. 
And  if  Saturn  also  bear  testimony  in  addition  to  Mer- 
cury and  Mars,  he  will  produce  assassins,  highwaymen, 
thieves,  robbers,  and  swindlers.  But  if  Jupiter  afford 
testimony  he  will  engage  persons  in  honorable  warfare 
and  in  industry,  making  them  cautious  and  diligent  in 


114  ASTROLOGY. 

business,  curious  in  foreign  matters,  and  deriving  profit 
from  their  pursuits. 

When  Venus  and  Mars  exercise  dominion  together 
persons  will  become  dyers,  dealers  in  perfumes,  workers 
in  tin,  lead,  gold,  and  silver,  dealers  in  drugs,  agricul- 
turists, and  physicians.  And  if  Saturn  add  testimony 
to  Venus  and  Mars,  he  will  produce  sextons,  grave- 
diggers,  and  undertakers,  and  fanatics  occupied  in  relig- 
ious undertakings.  But  if  Jupiter  add  testimony,  the 
persons  will  become  priests  and  clergymen,  governors 
placed  over  women,  and  interpreters,  and  they  will  derive 
support  from  such  occupations. 

The  properties  of  the  signs  in  which  the  lords  of 
the  employment  may  be  posited  are  also  influential  in 
varying  the  employment.  For  example,  the  signs  of 
human  shape  (Sagittary,  Aquarius,  Virgo,  and  Gemini) 
promote  all  scientific  pursuits,  and  such  as  are  of  utility 
to  mankind;  the  quadrupedal  signs  (Capricorn,  Leo, 
Taurus,  and  Aries)  contribute  to  produce  employment 
among  metals,  in  business  and  trade,  in  house-building, 
and  work  of  smiths  and  mechanics ;  the  tropical  and 
equinoctial  signs  (Cancer  and  Capricorn,  and  Aries  and 
Libra)  tend  to  give  employment  in  translation  or  inter- 
pretation, in  matters  of  exchange,  in  mensuration  and 
agriculture,  and  in  religious  duties ;  the  terrestrial  and 
watery  signs  (Taurus,  Cancer,  Virgo,  Scorpio,  Capri- 
corn, and  Pisces)  tend  to  employment  in  water  and  in 
connection  with  water,  as  well  as  in  regard  to  the  nur- 
ture of  plants  as  to  ship-building.  They  likewise  con- 
tribute to  employment  in  funerals,  in  embalming  and 
preserving,  and  also  in  salt. 


ASTROLOGY.  115 

Moreover,  should  the  moon  herself  actually  occupy 
the  place  regulating  the  employment  (the  midheaven) 
and  after  her  conjunction  continue  in  course  with  Mer- 
cury, she  will  produce  persons  of  extraordinary  pre- 
science. 

From  the  foregoing  rules  the  various  kinds  of  em- 
ployment are  to  be  inferred,  and  its  magnitude  or  impor- 
tance will  be  manifested  by  the  existing  power  of  the 
ruling  planets.  For  instance,  if  the  said  planets  be 
oriental  or  in  angles  they  will  give  the  person  eminence 
and  authority  in  his  employment;  but  if  occidental  or 
cadent,  they  will  render  him  subordinate.  And  should 
the  benefics  be  in  elevation  the  employment  will  be  im- 
portant, lucrative,  secure,  honorable  and  agreeable ;  but, 
on  the  other  hand,  if  the  malefics  be  in  elevation  above 
the  lords  of  the  employment,  it  will  then  be  mean,  dis- 
reputable, unprofitable,  and  insecure. 

Thus  Saturn  brings  adverse  influence  in  coldness  or 
tardiness,  and  from  a  mixture  of  pursuits ;  and  Mars 
produces  opposition  by  audacity  and  publicity  in  enter- 
prise;  and  both  planets  are  alike  hostile  to  proficiency 
and  prosperity. 

The  general  period  at  which  any  increase  or  diminu- 
tion of  the  employment  may  take  place  must,  again  in 
this  case  also,  be  determined  by  the  disposition  of  the 
stars  which  operate  the  effect  toward  the  oriental  and 
occidental  angles. 

(According  to  modern  astrologers,  Uranus  inspires 
love  of  occult  and  abstruse  and  uncommon  employ- 
ments, the  study  of  human  nature  and  electricity,  and 
publicity  of  pursuits ;  Saturn  rules  those  connected  with 


116  ASTROLOGY. 

land,  mines,  buildings  and  all  manual  labor;  Jupiter 
rules  clergymen,  bankers,  lawyers  and  legislators,  mer- 
chants, and  persons  in  power ;  Mars  rules  generals,  sur- 
geons, soldiers,  chemists,  engineers,  naval  commanders, 
butchers,  mechanics,  cutlers,  and  all  employed  among 
sharp  instruments  and  fire.  He  gives  mechanical  and 
constructive  skill.  Venus  is  associated  with  musicians, 
artists,  singers,  jewelers,  mercers,  drapers,  trades  con- 
nected with  fancy  goods,  toys,  pleasures.  The  sun  pro- 
duces rulers,  public  functionaries,  legislators,  ambas- 
sadors, government  officers,  and  those  in  positions  of 
trust.  Mercury  rules  mathematicians,  secretaries,  clerks, 
lawyers,  schoolmasters,  literary  men,  public  speakers, 
engravers,  designers,  messengers,  and  scientific  men. 
The  moon  rules  the  multitude,  obscure  people,  sailors, 
servants,  fishmongers,  travelers,  dealers  in  public  com- 
modities.) 

Marriage. 

The  consideration  of  circumstances  relating  to  mar- 
riage or  the  cohabitation  of  husband  and  wife  as  sanc- 
tioned by  law  succeeds  to  the  foregoing  details,  and 
must  be  pursued  in  the  following  method : 

With  men  it  is  to  be  observed  in  what  manner  the 
moon  may  be  disposed,  for  in  the  first  place  if  she  be 
found  in  the  oriental  quadrant  she  will  cause  men  either 
to  marry  early  in  life,  or  after  having  overpassed  their 
prime  to  marry  young  women ;  but  should  she  be  situ- 
ated in  either  of  the  occidental  quadrants  men  will  then 
marry  either  late  in  life,  or  to  women  advanced  in  age ; 
and  if  she  be  found  under  the  sun's  beams  and  configu- 
rated with  Saturn,  she  then  entirely  denies  marriage. 


ASTROLOGY.  117 

y,  should  she  be  in  a  sign  of  single  form  and 
in  application  to  but  one  planet,  she  will  cause  men  to 
marry  only  once ;  but  if  she  be  in  a  bicorporeal  or  multi- 
form sign  (Gemini,  Virgo,  Sagittary,  Pisces),  or  in  appli- 
cation to  several  planets,  she  will  cause  them  to  be  mar- 
ried several  times ;  and  provided  also  that  the  planets 
which  thus  either  by  adjacency  or  by  testimony  receive 
her  application  be  benefic,  men  will  then  obtain  good 
wives ;  but  if  on  the  contrary  the  said  planets  be  malefic, 
bad.  For  example,  if  Saturn  receive  the  moon's  appli- 
cation the  wives  whom  he  will  provide  will  be  trouble- 
some and  morose;  but  if  Jupiter  receives  it  they  will 
be  decorous  and  economical ;  if  Mars,  bold  and  refrac- 
tory; if  Venus,  cheerful,  handsome,  and  agreeable;  and 
if  Mercury,  sensible,  prudent,  and  clever.  Moreover, 
should  Venus  be  found  connected  with  Jupiter,  Saturn 
or  Mercury,  she  will  render  wives  provident  and  attached 
to  their  husbands  and  children;  but  if  she  be  found 
connected  with  Mars  they  will  be  irascible,  unsteady, 
and  indiscreet.  Thus  far  in  reference  to  the  marriage 
of  men.  (Uranus,  discovered  since  the  time  of  Ptolemy, 
may  be  said  to  give  waywardness  and  uncertainty  of 
conduct  in  wives.  It  gives  liability  to  illicit  connections 
and  elopements ;  it  may  be,  however,  only  a  fondness, 
for  society  and  publicity,  and  a  temper  impossible  to 
count  on.) 

In  the  case  of  women  the  sun  must  be  observed 
instead  of  the  moon;  and  should  he  be  posited  in  the 
oriental  quadrants,  women  will  be  married  either  in  their 
o^vn  youth  or  to  men  younger  than  themselves ;  but  if 
he  be  in  the  occidental  quadrants  they  will  either  be 


118  ASTROLOGY. 

married  late  in  life  or  to  men  who  have  passed  their 
prime  and  are  advanced  in  years.  And  should  the  sun 
be  in  a  sign  of  single  form,  or  configurated  with 
only  one  oriental  planet,  he  will  cause  them  to  enter 
into  matrimony  only  once;  but  if  in  a  bicorporeal 
or  multiform  sign,  or  configurated  with  oriental 
planets,  he  will  then  cause  them  to  be  married  often. 
And  Saturn  being  configurated  with  the  sun  will  pro- 
vide husbands  steadfast,  advantageous,  and  industrious ; 
Jupiter,  such  as  are  honorable  and  noble-minded ;  Mars, 
husbands  void  of  affection  and  intractable ;  Venus,  ami- 
able and  handsome  husbands ;  and  Mercury,  such  as  are 
provident  and  expert  in  business.  But  if  Venus  be 
found  connected  with  Saturn  she  will  indicate  dull  and 
timid  husbands;  if  with  Jupiter  they  will  be  good,  just, 
and  modest ;  if  with  Mars,  hasty,  lustful,  and  adulter- 
ous ;  and  if  with  Mercury  they  will  be  desirous  of  chil- 
dren. 

In  regard  to  the  sun,  those  quadrants  which  precede 
the  ascending  and  descending  points  of  the  zodiac  (that 
is,  tenth,  eleventh  and  twelfth  houses,  and  the  houses 
opposite,  that  is,  fourth,  fifth,  and  sixth) ;  and  in  respect 
of  the  moon  those  which  are  measured  from  her  con- 
junction and  opposition  with  the  sun  (that  is,  new  and 
full  moon)  to  her  intermediate  quarters,  are  called  ori- 
ental quadrants.  The  occidental  quadrants  are  of  course 
those  included  between  the  midheaven  and  the  western 
angle,  and  the  one  opposite. 

Whenever  both  nativities,  viz  ,  that  of  the  husband 
and  that  of  the  wife,  may  exhibit  the  luminaries  coti- 
figurated  together  in  concord,  that  is  to  say,  either  in 


ASTROLOGY.  119 

trine  or  in  sextile  to  each  other,  the  cohabitation  will 
most  usually  be  lasting,  especially  if  the  said  concord 
exist  by  mutual  reception  in  dignities ;  but  its  duration 
will  be  also  much  more  securely  established  provided 
the  moon  in  the  husband's  nativity  should  correspond 
or  agree  with  the  sun  in  the  wife's  nativity  (that  is,  the 
moon  in  the  husband's  nativity  in  the  same  position  as 
the  sun  in  the  wife's).  If,  however,  the  relative  posi- 
tions of  the  luminaries  be  in  signs  inconjunct,  or  in 
opposition,  or  in  quartile,  the  cohabitation  will  be  speed- 
ily dissolved  upon  slight  causes,  and  the  total  separation 
of  the  parties  will  ensue,  unless  offset  by  favorable  rela- 
tions between  the  other  planets  and  luminaries. 

And  should  the  configuration  of  the  luminaries  when 
made  in  concord  be  aspected  by  the  benefics,  the  cohabi- 
tation will  continue  in  respectability,  comfort,  and  ad- 
vantage ;  but,  on  the  other  hand,  it  will  abound  in  strife, 
contention,  and  misfortune  if  the  malefics  be  in  aspect 
to  the  said  configuration.  In  like  manner,  even  though 
the  luminaries  be  favorably  configurated  in  concord, 
should  the  benefics  still  offer  testimony  the  cohabitation 
will  then  not  be  entirely  broken  off,  nor  totally  de- 
stroyed forever,  but  will  be  again  renewed  and  re-estab- 
lished as  before.  But  if,  on  the  contrary,  the  malefics 
bear  testimony  to  such  discordant  disposition  of  the 
luminaries,  a  dissolution  of  the  cohabitation  will  take 
place,  accompanied  by  scorn  and  injury.  Should  Mer- 
cury alone  be  conjoined  with  the  malefics  it  will  be 
effected  by  means  of  some  public  inculpation,  and  if 
Venus  also  be  found  with  them,  it  will  be  on  the  ground 


120  ASTROLOGY. 

of  adultery  or  sorcery  or  some  similar  offense  (that  is, 
divorce  proceedings  or  scandal  of  some  sort). 

There  are,  however,  other  varieties  of  the  married 
state  which  are  to  be  contemplated  by  means  of  Venus, 
Mars  and  Saturn.  And  should  these  planets  act  in 
familiarity  with  the  luminaries,  the  cohabitation  will  be 
appropriate  and  domestic  and  authorized  by  law,  because 
Venus  holds  a  certain  affinity  both  to  Mars  and  Saturn ; 
her  affinity  to  Mars,  for  instance,  consists  in  each  having 
exaltation  in  a  sign  belonging  to  the  other's  tripiicity, 
and  it  operates  in  the  case  of  youthful  and  vigorous  per- 
sons ;  while  her  affinity  to  Saturn  arises  trom  their  re- 
spective houses  being  in  signs  again  also  belonging  to 
each  other's  triplicity,  and  relates  to  persons  more  ad- 
vanced in  age. 

Hence  if  Venus  be  in  concurrence  with  Mars  she  will 
produce  entire  love  and  affection  in  the  cohabiting  par- 
ties, and  if  Mercury  also  coincides  with  the  said  planets 
such  affection  will  become  publicly  notorious.  Should 
Venus  be  found  in  a  sign  mutually  common  and  familiar, 
such  as  Capricorn  or  Pisces,  she  will  affect  marriages 
between  kindred  by  blood,  and  provided  she  be  also  in 
the  presence  of  the  moon  when  the  native  may  be  male, 
she  will  cause  him  to  connect  himself  with  two  sisters 
or  other  near  relatives;  but  if  the  native  be  female  a 
similar  contact  on  her  part  with  two  brothers  or  near 
relatives  will  be  indicated,  when  Venus  may  be  also  with 
Jupiter. 

Again,  if  Venus  be  with  Saturn  the  cohabitation  will 
be  established  entirely  in  happiness  and  constancy ;  and 
if  Mercury  be  present  with  them  it  will  be  profitable; 


ASTROLOGY.  121 

but  should  Mars  be  present,  it.  will  be  unsettled,  calam- 
itous, and  afflicted  by  jealousy.  And  if  Mars  be  config- 
urated on  equal  terms  with  Venus,  Saturn  and  Mercury, 
he  will  effect  marriage  between  persons  of  equal  age ; 
but,  on  the  other  hand,  should  he  be  more  oriental,  mar- 
riage will  take  place  with  a  younger  man  or  woman,  and 
it  more  occidental  with  an  older  person.  Should  Venus 
and  Saturn  be  found  in  signs  common  to  each  other, 
that  is  to  say,  in  Capricorn  and  Libra,  marriage  will 
be  contracted  between  persons  kindred  by  blood. 

When  the  aforesaid  configurations,  although  not  ex- 
isting in  signs  of  affinity  to  each  other,  should  be  found 
in  feminine  places  they  will  render  the  parties  obscene, 
lustful,  and  shameless.  And  should  Venus  and  Saturn 
be  posited  in  angles,  they  will  then,  if  posited  in  the 
first  two  angles,  the  eastern  and  the  midheaven,  produce 
a  total  exposure  of  passions,  and  cause  them  to  be  pub- 
licly canvassed ;  but  if  in  the  last  two  angles,  the  western 
and  nadir,  they  will  produce  eunuchs,  or  persons  un- 
prolific,  and  not  possessing  the  proper  channels  of  na- 
ture. 

The  passions  liable  to  operate  in  males  are  to  be 
considered  by  observation  of  Mars ;  for  should  he  be 
separated  from  Venus  and  Saturn,  but  yet  at  the  same 
time  be  supported  by  the  testimony  of  Jupiter,  he  will 
make  men  pure  and  decorous  in  sexual  intercourse  and 
incline  them  to  natural  usages  only;  and  if  he  attach 
himself  to  Saturn  only  he  will  then  be  cold  in  blood  and 
dull  in  appetite ;  if,  however,  when  Saturn  and  Mars  may 
be  thus  connected  together,  Venus  and  Jupiter  should 
also  be  configurated  with  them,  men  will  then  become 


122  ASTROLOGY. 

easily  excited  and  eager -in  desire,  although  they  will  still 
be  continent  and  restrain  themselves  in  order  to  avoid 
reproach.  But  should  Saturn  be  obscure,  and  Mars  be 
with  Venus  alone,  even  although  Jupiter  be  with  her, 
men  will  become  highly  licentious  and  attempt  to  gratify 
their  desires  in  every  mode.  And  further,  if  Venus 
be  found  more  occidental,  men  will  connect  themselves 
with  low  women,  and  aliens  or  vagabonds ;  but  should 
Mars  be  found  occidental,  with  women  of  rank,  and  gen- 
tlewomen ;  or  with  women  living  with  their  husbands, 
or  under  the  protection  of  men.  Thus  far  with  regard 
to  males. 

In  the  case  of  females,  Venus  requires  attention ; 
for  if  she  be  configurated  with  Jupiter  or  with  Mercury 
she  will  cause  women  to  be  temperate  and  pure  in  sexual 
intercourse ;  still,  however,  when  she  may  be  thus  con- 
nected with  Mercury,  if  Saturn  be  not  present  also,  she 
will  cause  them  to  be  easily  excited  to  desire,  although 
they  will  control  their  desires  and  avoid  reproach.  But 
should  Venus  be  conjoined  or  configurated  with  Mars 
alone  she  will  render  women  licentious  and  lustful ;  and 
if  to  both  these  planets  when  thus  conjoined  or  configu- 
rated Jupiter  also  present  himself,  Mars  being  at  the 
same  time  under  the  rays  of  the  sun,  women  will  then 
mingle  in  intercourse  with  persons  meaner  than  them- 
selves, or  with  aliens  or  vagabonds ;  but  should  Venus 
happen  to  be  under  the  sun's  rays,  they  will  commit, 
themselves  with  their  superiors  or  masters.  And  fur- 
ther, should  the  planets  be  in  feminine  places  or  con- 
figurated femininely  they  will  be  content  with  their  pas- 
sive faculties  only. 


ASTROLOGY.  123 

Saturn  in  being  conciliated  with  such  positions  as 

those  now  described  contributes  to  produce  obscenity, 

Jupiter  greater  decency,  and  Mercury  greater  publicity 

and  greater  fickleness  or  instability. 

Children. 

The  next  point  to  be  investigated  is  that  concerning 
children ;  and  to  accomplish  this,  observation  must  be 
made  of  the  planets  posited  in  or  configurated  with  the 
place  on  the  zenith  (tenth  house)  or  its  succeedant  house 
(eleventh),  which  latter  is  called  the  place  of  the  good 
demon.  And  should  it  happen  that  not  any  planets  may 
be  present  in  the  said  places,  nor  configurated  with 
them,  it  will  then  be  necessary  to  take  into  consideration 
such  as  may  be  in  opposition  thereto. 

Now  the  moon,  Jupiter  and  Venus  are  esteemed  as 
givers  of  offspring;  but  the  sun,  Mars,  and  Saturn  are 
considered  as  denying  children  altogether,  or  as  allow- 
ing but  few;  while  Mercury,  being  in  quality  common 
lo  both  divisions,  lends  co-operation  to  that  which  he 
may  be  configurated  with,  and  gives  offspring  when 
oriental,  but  withholds  when  occidental. 

To  speak  briefly,  if  the  planets  which  grant  progeny 
be  so  posited  as  described  and  placed  singly,  the  gift  of 
progeny  will  be  single  only  (that  is,  one  at  a  birth) ;  but 
should  they  be  in  bicorporeal  or  feminine  signs,  they 
will  grant  twins.  So  likewise  if  they  should  be  in  pro- 
lific or  seminal  signs,  such  as  Pisces,  Cancer,  and  Scor- 
pio, they  will  grant  twins  or  even  more.  And  provided 
they  should  also  be  masculinely  constituted,  as  well  by 
configuration  with  the  sun  as  by  being  in  masculine 


124  ASTROLOGY. 

signs,  they  will  grant  male  children;  but  if  femininely 
constituted,  female. 

But  although  the  said  planets  even  if  beneath  the 
malefics  in  elevation,  or  even  if  found  in  barren  places, 
or  in  signs  such  as  those  of  Leo  and  Virgo,  will  still 
grant  children ;  yet  such  children,  thus  indicated,  will 
neither  be  healthy  nor  continue  life.  Should  it  happen, 
however,  that  the  sun  and  the  malefics  may  be  in  entire 
possession  of  the  places  mentioned,  viz.,  that  on  the 
zenith  or  the  antecedent  house  allotted  to  the  good 
demon ;  and  provided  they  be  at  the  same  time  in  mas- 
culine or  barren  signs,  and  the  benefics  be  not  in  eleva- 
tion above  them,  a  total  privation  of  offispring  is  thereby 
indicated ;  but  should  they  be  in  feminine  or  prolific 
signs,  children  will  then  be  granted;  yet  they  will  be 
liable  to  disease  and  short  lived. 

If,  however,  planets  of  each  condition  should  be  con- 
figurated in  prolific  signs,  then  will  there  ensue  a  loss  of 
either  all  the  children  or  only  a  few,  or  else  the  major 
part  of  them,  in  the  same  proportion  as  that  in  which 
the  planets  bearing  testimony  to  either  condition  may 
preponderate  on  one  side  rather  than  the  other;  by  ex- 
celling in  number,  or  in  influence  in  consequence  of 
being  posited  more  orientally,  more  genuinely  in  angles, 
higher  in  elevation  or  successively  ascending. 

When  the  lords  of  the  aforesaid  signs  may  be  such 
as  are  givers  of  offspring  and  be  either  oriental  or  in 
places  proper  to  themselves,  the  children  thus  granted 
will  become  eminent  and  illustrious;  but  if  occidental, 
or  in  places  not  proper  to  themselves,  the  children  thus 
granted  will  then  be  undistinguished  and  abject. 


ASTROLOGY.  125 

Should  the  said  lords  also  be  in  concord  with  the  Part 
of  Fortune  and  with  the  ascendant,  they  will  render  the 
children  amiable  and  cause  them  to  be  beloved  by  their 
parents,  and  to  inherit  their  parents'  substance ;  but  if 
found  inconjunct,  and  not  in  concord  with  the  said 
parts,  the  children  will  then  become  odious  and  mis- 
chievous to  their  parents,  and  will  forfeit  the  inheritance 
of  their  substance. 

Further,  should  the  planets  which  grant  progeny  be 
appropriately  configurated  with  each  other  they  will 
promote  brotherly  love,  and  mutual  regard  and  affection 
among  the  children,  but  if  inconjunct  or  in  opposition 
they  will  excite  in  them  mutual  hatred,  deceit,  and 
treachery. 

The  general  investigation  regarding  children  is  to 
be  conducted  in  the  foregoing  method ;  but  in  order  to 
enquire  into  particular  circumstances  consequent  on  the 
above,  it  will  be  necessary  to  assume,  as  an  ascendant, 
the  position  of  each  planet  which  gives  offspring,  and 
to  observe  the  separate  schemes,  drawing  inferences 
therefrom  as  in  the  case  of  a  nativity. 

Friends  and  Enemies. 

With  respect  to  friendship  and  enmity,  it  may  be 
observed  that  great  and  lasting  familiarities  or  disa- 
greements are  respectively  called  sympathies  and  en- 
mities, while  the  smaller,  such  as  arise  occasionally  and 
subsist  for  a  short  time  only,  are  denominated  casual 
intimacies  and  strifes ;  the  whole  are  to  be  contemplated 
according  to  the  following  rules : 

Indications  of  great  and  lasting  friendship  cg^enr 


126  ASTROLOGY. 

may  be  perceived  by  observation  of  the  ruling  places 
exhibited  in  the  respective  nativities  of  both  the  persons 
between  whom  friendship  or  enmity  may  subsist.  It  is 
consequently  essential  to  observe  the  places  of  the  sun, 
the  moon,  the  ascendant,  and  the  Part  of  Fortune ;  for 
should  all  these  in  both  nativities  be  in  the  same  signs, 
or  should  either  all  or  most  of  them  be  counterchanged 
in  position  in  each  nativity,  and  especially  should  the 
two  ascendants  be  within  the  distance  of  17  degrees  of 
each  other,  they  will  create  fixed  and  indissoluble  friend- 
ships. On  the  other  hand,  should  they  be  in  signs  in- 
conjunct,  or  in  opposition,  they  will  produce  great  and 
lasting  enmity.  If,  however,  they  be  not  constituted  in 
either  of  the  angles  above  mentioned,  but  merely  con- 
figurated in  signs,  they  will  then  produce  minor  friend- 
ships, provided  such  configuration  exist  by  trine  or  sex- 
tile;  but  if  by  quartile  they  will  excite  minor  enmity, 
so  as  to  take  effect  at  certain  particular  times  in  which 
the  friendship  remains,  as  it  were,  inactive  and  subdued, 
while  the  malefics  transit  the  configuration.  And  in  a 
similar  manner,  enmity  also  will  be  softened  and  abated 
when  the  benefics  may  enter  upon  the  configuratio'n  of 
any  of  the  four  places  above  specified. 

The  friendship  and  enmity  which  men  bear  toward 
each  other  may  be  classed  under  three  general  heads. 
One  kind  is  suggested  by  spontaneous  willfulness ;  an- 
other by  the  idea  of  profit;  and  another  by  pain  and 
pleasure  mutually  excited. 

And  therefore  should  either  all  or  most  of  the  afore- 
said places  be  in  familiarity  with  each  other,  friendship 
of  all  the  three  kinds  will  be  established;  so  also  should 


ASTROLOGY.  127 

the  places  be  entirely  without  familiarity,  similar  enmity 
will  be  established.  If,  however,  familiarity  or  absence 
of  familiarity  (as  the  case  may  be),  exist  only  as  regards 
the  places  of  the  luminaries,  friendship  or  enmity  will 
then  be  established  by  spontaneous  will ;  and  friendship 
thus  produced  is  the  best  and  most  secure ;  while  on  the 
other  hand  enmity  so  arising  is,  in  like  manner,  the 
worst  and  most  dangerous.  The  friendship  or  enmity 
consequent  on  the  familiarity  or  non-familiarity  of  the 
respective  Parts  of  Fortune  will  be  established  on  the 
idea  of  profit ;  and  that  consequent  on  a  similar  disposi- 
tion of  the  respective  ascendants  will  arise  from  pain  or 
pleasure  mutually  excited  between  the  parties. 

It  will,  however,  be  necessary  to  pay  still  further 
attention  to  the  places  in  question,  in  order  to  observe 
whether  any  and  what  planets  may  be  in  elevation  above 
them  or  in  aspect  to  them ;  because  among  all  the  said 
places,  that  particular  one  to  which  any  planet  in  eleva- 
tion, or  in  succession,  may  be  adjacent,  whether  in  the 
same  sign  or  in  the  next,  will  possess  the  more  powerful 
influence  over  friendship  or  enmity.  And  whichever 
place  may  have  its  aspecting  planets  more  powerfully 
benefic,  will  operate  in  a  greater  degree  to  advantage 
in  friendship  and  to  relaxation  of  enmity.  The  fore- 
going instructions  are  applicable  to  such  friendships  or 
enmities  as  are  great  and  lasting. 

But  in  the  case  of  others  which  subsist  only  occa- 
sionally, and  which  have  been  defined  as  casual  intima- 
cies and  strifes,  it  is  essential  to  make  observation  of 
the  motions  of  the  planets  as  exhibited  by  each  nativity ; 
that  is  to  say,  the  times  are  to  be  calculated  on  the 


128  ASTROLOGY. 

completion  of  which  the  motions  of  the  planets  of  one 
nativity  will  cause  them  to  enter  on  certain  places  of 
the  other  nativity;  for  it  is  at  such  periods  that  certain 
particular  friendships  and  enmities  occur,  continuing  for 
a  short  time,  until  the  said  ingress  of  the  planets  shall 
have  passed  over. 

For  instance,  Saturn  and  Jupiter,  when  making  in- 
gress upon  each  other's  places,  produce  friendship  by 
certain  agreements  or  engagements  relative  either  to 
agriculture  or  to  inheritance ;  Saturn  and  Mars  create 
contention  and  treachery  spontaneously  entertained, 
liable,  however,  soon  to  grow  cool ;  Saturn  and  Mercury, 
friendship  on  account  of  business,  or  profit,  or  some 
secret  art  or  mystery. 

Jupiter  and  Mars  create  friendship  in  the  direction 
of  affairs ;  and  by  means  of  dignities ;  Jupiter  and  Venus 
also  create  friendship  by  means  of  female  persons,  or 
in  religious  circles ;  Jupiter  and  Mercury,  friendship  by 
means  of  eloquence  and  science,  and  philosophical  in- 
clination. 

Mars  and  Venus  cause  friendship  in  the  course  of 
amours,  adultery,  and  fornication ;  Mars  and  Mercury 
with  hatred  and  strife  by  offenses  committed  in  business 
and  trade. 

And  Venus  and  Mercury  produce  connection  by 
means  of  the  arts  and  sciences,  by  a  mutual  interest  in 
literature,  or  by  female  persons. 

It  is  in  this  manner  that  the  planets  operate  in  pro- 
ducing friendship  or  enmity,  and  their  compartive  in- 
tensity or  relaxation  of  vigor  is  to  be  distinguished  by 


ASTROLOGY.  129 

the  situation  of  the  places  which  they  occupy,  with  re- 
gard to  the  four  principal  and  ruling  places. 

With  respect  to  servants,  the  sign  of  the  evil  demon 
(that  on  the  cusp  of  the  twelfth  house)  is  considered  as 
the  place  to  which  the  disposition  ruling  over  them 
must  be  referred,  and  it  is  to  be  observed  what  planets 
are  in  aspect  to  that  place,  both  at  the  actual  time  of 
nativity  and  at  that  of  any  ingresses  made  upon  it,  or 
opposition  to  it;  and  also  especially  whether  the  lords 
of  the  said  sign  may  be  configurated  in  familiarity  with 
the  ruling  places  of  the  nativity,  or  not  in  familiarity. 

Travel. 

The  circumstances  indicative  of  travel  are  to  be  con- 
sidered by  means  of  the  situation  held  by  both  the  lumi- 
naries in  respect  to  the  angles  and  especially  by  means 
of  that  held  by  the  moon.  For,  should  she  be  descend- 
ing, or  cadent  from  the  angles,  she  will  cause  journeys 
and  changes  of  residence ;  Mars,  also,  if  descending,  or 
cadent  from  the  zenith,  will  sometimes  do  the  same, 
provided  he  may  occupy  a  situation  in  quartile  or  in 
opposition  to  the  luminaries.  And  if  the  Part  of  For- 
tune should  happen  to  be  placed  in  signs  which  produce 
traveling,  the  course  and  practice  of  the  whole  life  will 
be  engaged  in  foreign  lands.  And,  further,  provided 
the  benefics  superintend  the  aforesaid  places,  or  ascend 
in  succession  to  them,  the  engagements  abroad  will  be 
honorable  and  lucrative,  and  the  return  home  speedy 
and  unobstructed;  but  if,  on  the  contrary,  the  malefics 
superintend  or  ascend  in  succession  to  those  places,  the 
journey  outward  will  then  lead  to  peril  and  misfortune, 


130 


ASTROLOGY. 


and  the  return  will  be  replete  with  difficulty.  But  it  is 
at  the  same  time  necessary  in  all  cases  to  consider  the 
contemperament  also,  and  to  observe  such  of  the  exist- 
ing configurations  as  are  more  predominant. 

It  most  usually  happens  that  if  the  luminaries  be 
posited  in  the  cadent  houses  of  the  oriental  quadrants, 
the  travel  will  take  place  in  the  eastern  or  southern 
quarters  of  the  world ;  and  that  if  placed  in  the  western 
situation  or  in  an  occidental  quadrant,  travel  will  then  be 
prosecuted  in  northern  and  western  parts,  and  should 
the  signs  which  operate  travel,  be  themselves  single  in 
form,  or  should  the  planets  having  dominion  of  them 
be  singly  posited,  the  journeys  will  then  take  place  after 
long  intervals,  and  occasionally  only;  but  if  the  said 
signs  be  bicorporeal  or  double  in  form  or  figure,  travel 
will  be  constantly  repeated  and  continued. 

Thus  when  Jupiter  and  Venus  may  be  in  dominion 
over  the  luminaries  and  over  the  places  producing  travel 
they  will  render  the  journeys  agreeable,  as  well  as  free 
from  danger ;  for  the  traveler  will  be  joyfully  forwarded 
on  his  way  by  the  magistrates  of  the  country,  and  by 
the  concurrent  assistance  of  friendly  persons ;  the  state 
of  the  atmosphere  will  also  be  favorable,  and  he  will 
meet  with  abundance  of  accommodation ;  and  provided 
Mercury  also  be  present  with  the  planets  above  signified, 
utility,  profit,  presents,  and  honors  will  likewise  be  de- 
rived from  the  journey. 

Saturn  and  Mars,  if  controlling  the  luminaries,  and 
especially  if  placed  distantly  from  each  other  so  as  not 
to  act  in  concert,  will  produce  great  dangers,  and  at 
the  same  time  render  the  journey  fruitless  and  unavail- 


ASTROLOGY.  131 

ing.  Should  they  be  in  watery  signs  the  dangers  will 
arise  by  shipwreck,  or  among  deserts  and  wildernesses; 
if  in  fixed  signs,  by  precipices  and  adverse  blasts  of 
wind ;  in  tropical  and  equinoctial  signs  by  want  of  food 
and  other  necessities,  and  by  some  unwholesomeness  of 
the  atmosphere ;  in  signs  of  human  form  by  robbery, 
trading,  and  various  depredations;  and  if  in  terrestrial 
signs  by  the  attack  of  wild  beasts  or  from  earthquakes. 
And  should  Mercury  also  lend  concurrence,  the  traveler 
will  incur  further  danger  from  accusations  made  against 
him,  as  well  as  from  reptiles  and  innocuous  bites  or 
stings. 

The  question  whether  events  will  be  advantageous 
or  injurious  in  quality  must,  however,  be  further  con- 
sidered by  observation  (made  in  the  forms  already  de- 
tailed) of  the  peculiar  properties  of  the  places  in  which 
the  lords  of  employment,  of  wealth,  of  the  body,  or  of 
rank,  may  be  posited.  And  the  periods  at  which  trav- 
eling will  take  place  are  to  be  considered  by  the  occa- 
sional ingress  of  the  five  planets. 

(The  discovery  of  Uranus  introduces  into  astrology 
one  of  the  most  important  influences  in  regard  to  travel. 
If  Uranus  be  strongly  posited  in  any  part  of  the  heavens, 
traveling  is  likely  to  result ;  but  if  associated  in  configu- 
rations described  by  Ptolemy  he  is  peculiarly  liable  to- 
produce  travel,  or  incursions  into  new  schemes  and  un- 
dertakings at  home  or  in  other  parts  if  the  world.)

sounds,  actions,  etc.,  almost  to  morbidness.

3)  in  T  will  have  weak  digestion  because  of  too  great 
activity  of  brain.  This  position  of  the  Moon 
intensifies  the  power  of  sight,  the  strongest 
sense  of  Virgo,  and  eyes  are  liable  to  become 
weak  from  over-use.  The  native  is  frequently 
too  stubborn  for  his  own  good,  but  likely  to 
succeed  in  intellectual  pursuits,  and  he  has  a

tic, fond  of  public  life,  and  fastidious. 

When  the  Moon  is  in  Cancer  the  native 
D  in  25      will  be  easily  unnerved  by  unpleasant  sur-

ical, industrious,  and  exclusive  to  selfishness. 
When  the  Moon  is  in  Leo  the  native  will

pure  but  restless,  and  will  be  liable  to  nervous 
affections.

fined.

sight.

3  in  25  will  have  a  sensitive  nature,  be  liable  to  exces- 
sive industry  and  overwork,  with  a  tendency 
to  penuriousness.  This  position  tends  to 
generalization  rather  than  minutiae,  causes  a 
disinclination  to  work  under  others,  sensi- 
tiveness to  the  influence  of  the  opposite  sex, 
and  an  adaptation  to  professional  life. 

When  the  Moon  is  in  Leo  the  native  will 

D  in  SI  have  great  vitality,  a  high  ideal  of  love,  studi- 
ousness,  and  an  inclination  to  the  occult.  He 
will  be  liable  to  mistakes  in  the  bestowal  of 
love  and  friendship,  being  kind-hearted  and 
confiding,  and  hence  liable  to  disappointments 
in  this  direction  and  in  financial  matters, 
which  may  make  him  morbid  or  penurious. 
He  will  be  inclined  to  isolation  and'  extremes. 
When  the  Moon  is  in  Virgo  the  native  will 

3  in  1%  love  mathematics  and  abstruse  subjects,  be  in- 
clined to  be  positive  and  exacting,  difficult  to 
please,  and  fond  of  agriculture. 

When  the  Moori  is  in  Libra  the  native  will 

5  in  =a=      have  a  deep,  quiet  thoughtfulness,  with  fore- 


ASTROLOGY.  161 

sight  and  carefulness,  an  inclination  to  poetic 
and  literary  pursuits,  and  if  a  woman  will  be 
better  adapted  to  business  than  a  domestic 
life. 

When  the  Moon  is  in  Scorpio  the  native 
D  in  HI  will  be  quiet,  perhaps  sullen  in  temperament, 
subject  to  conventionality  and  selfishness, 
love  great  attainments  in  education,  and  have 
an  adaptation  to  journalism.  He  will  tend  to 
be  hard  and  jealous  in  domestic  life,  and  be 
inclined  to  political  and  public  occupations. 

When  the  Moon  is  in  Sagittarius  the  na- 
D  in  /  tive  will  be  active,  restless,  with  a  tendency  to 
extremes  in  every  direction,  yet  have  consid- 
erable power  of  self-control,  mechanical  abil- 
ities, art  tendencies,  and  an  inclination  to  re- 
ligious thought  and  life.  He  will  be  indus- 
trious and  liable  to  overwork. 

When  the  Moon  is  in  Capricorn  the  native 
D  in  VJ  will  have  decided  business  talent,  an  inclina- 
tion to  plan  and  speculate,  frequently  a  love 
of  music  and  the  fine  arts,  and  an  adaptation 
to  be  a  general  superintendent  or  manager. 

When  the  Moon  is  in  Aquarius  the  native 
D  in  zz  will  find  the  studious  tendencies  of  Pisces 
somewhat  counteracted ;  he  will  be  bright,  of 
a  cheery  habit  of  mind,  somewhat  lacking  in 
fidelity  to  friends,  adapted  to  mercantile  pur- 
suits or  public  life,  and  if  a'  woman  would  not 
take  kindly  to  domestic  life. 

When  the  Moon  is  in  Pisces  the  native  will 


162  ASTROLOGY. 

D  in  X  be  disinclined  to  launch  into  new  ventures, 
but  will  be  active  and  persevering,  though 
lacking  confidence  in  his  powers  and  abilities, 
and  be  subject  to  morbid  sex  inclinations  and 
melancholy.

unemotional,  cautious,  reflective,  very  shrewd,  close 
in  nature,  inclined  to  be  rude,  abrupt,  unfeeling,  un-

executive  and  aggressive  power,  unfit  for  prominent 
or  responsible  positions. 

Note. — Planets  in  the  ascendant  vary  above  descrip- 
tions considerably.  Planets  rising,  but  not  in  the  asc. 
make  a  slight  difference.  Aspects  received  by  planets 
in  the  asc.  have  also  a  strong  influence  on  the  char- 
acter. 


ASTROLOGY.  165 

The  Tropical  signs  generally  incline  the  mind  much 
to  political  matters,  distinction,  and  the  study  of  the- 
ology. Such  are  ingenious,  acute,  inquisitive,  inven- 
tive, and  speculative. 

Bicorporeal  signs  make  the  mind  variable,  versatile, 
and  volatile.  Fixed  signs  make  it  just,  uncompromis- 
ing, constant,  firm,  prudent,  patient,  strict,  persever- 
ing and  contentious. 

In  describing  the  personal  appearance  the  student 
must  not  only  take  into  consideration  the  asc.  and 
planets  therein,  but  also  the  sign  occupied  by  the  lord 
of  the  asc.  For  instance,  should  n\,  ascend  unoccupi- 
ed by  planets,  $  being  found  in  VJ ,  the  native  will 
have  the  form  of  a  scorpio  person,  but  a  lighter  com- 
plexion. On  the  other  hand,  should  n  ascend  unoccu- 
pied and  $  be  found  in  n\,,  the  native  will  be  a  n  per- 
son with  some  resemblance  to  the  TH,  man.  A  great 
deal  also  depends  on  the  aspects  of  the  lord  of  the  asc. 
Should  £5  ascend  and  the  D  be  found  in  /  or  SI  in  6 
with  theO>  the  native  would  have  a  full  share  of  the 
solar  nature;  being  noble-hearted,  benevolent,  firm  and 
active.  It  is  the  same  with  the  other  planets,  thereby 
explaining  the  endless  variety  of  mankind.  Take  a  ID 
person,  whose  j)  is  in  X ,  and  another,  whose  D  is  in 
/  .  The  former  would  be  less  active  physically  than 
the  latter;  also  more  cold  and  insipid  in  nature.

in  5jc  to  9 ,  h  >  and  $  •  Linguistic,  literary,  and  ora- 
torical abilities  would  emanate  from  these  positions. 

$    *   h  would  give  precision,  caution,  and  wariness. 

$>!<:$  added  originality  of  thought  and  impressions, 
and  an  ingenious  mind;  while  musical  and  artistic 
tastes  and  talents  would  be  produced  by  9  *  $  ,  and 
the  same  aspect  would  make  him  courteous,  witty, 
and  amiable.  The  6  of  9  with  h  gave  imagination 
and  sensuousness,  other  products  of  this  conjunction 
being  finesse  and  diplomacy: 

Vanity,  ambition,  and  love  of  public  approbation 
would  rise  from  9  A  S . 

9  and  O,  posited  in  the  nth  house,  protrayed  many 
powerful  friends  and  much  assistance  from  them. 
Much  good  fortune  and  many  fine  qualities  would 
emanate  from  5  and  1J..  $  and  $  in  the  7th  indi- 
cated many  open  antagonists  and  much  opposition  and 
trouble  in  the  conjugal  state.  He  would  not  be  par- 
ticularly successful  in  his  dealings  with  the  other  sex,, 
judging  from  9  6  fy  •  This  configuration  points  to 
secret  foes  and  disagreeable  rumors.  It  should  be  ob- 
served that  O,  though  within  orb  of  aquartile  aspect 
with  $  in  the  zodiac,  is  in  mundane  trine  to  that 
planet,  $  is  very  strongly  posited  in  the  house  of 
war,  being  in  r^ ,  his  own  sign.

LORD  B\RON. 

"Ye  stars,  which  are  the  poetry  of  heaven, 
If  in  your  bright  leaves  we  would  read  the  fate 
Of  men  and  empires, — 'tis  to  be  forgiven, 
That  in  our  aspirations  to  be  great, 
Our  destinies  o'erleap  their  mortal  state, 
And  claim  a  kindred  with  you;  for  ye  are 
A  beauty,  and  a  mystery,  and  create 
In  us  such  love  and  reverence  from  afar, 
That  fortune,  fame,  power,  life,  have  named 

themselves  a  star." — Childe  Harold's  Pilgrimage, 

Byron  was  a  man  of  variable  moods,  and  often  a 
slave  to  sensuous  passions,  as  deduced  from  $  in  ZD, 
D  6  $  and  9  6  ^ .  He  was  keenly  susceptible  to 
all  that  was  grand  and  beautiful,  judging  from  9  6 
>2  in  the  M.C.,  and  this  position  of  h  would  also  pro- 
duce shyness.  D  6  $  would  make  his  mind  hope- 
lessly entangled  with  the  material  world,  and  with 
voluptuousness,  hence  his  mental  conceptions  were 
not  always  healthy.  A  captious  temper  and  a  morbid 
sensitiveness  would  be  produced  by  $  £  $ ,  making 
him  quick  to  take  offence.  The  last-named  aspect 
operates  in  both  the  7th  and  8th  houses;  and  h  being 
lord  of  the  7th,  and  the  J  being  afflicted  by  W ,  un- 
happiness  in  love-affairs  and  marriage  would  thus  re- 
sult. Warmth  of  affection  would  emanate  from  9  <$ 
h  .  Byron  was  stern,  impulsive,  and  if  provoked,  re- 
vengeful, as  deduced  from  the  affliction  of  $  by  $ , 
the  latter  being  in  the  ascendant.  He  was  very  eccen- 
tric, erratic,  uncertain,  and  disposed  to  travel,  judging 
from  D  6  y.  The  par.  of  3  with  O,and  $  with  #, 
would  add  many  fine  and  attractive  qualities,  but  the 
ignoble  ones  preponderated.  He  died  April  19th,  1824, 
at  age  46  years  and  3  months,  when  the  following- 
directions  were  operated: —  D  nh,])n9,<?(?$R;

"Babies  can't  choose  their  own  horoscopes,  and  indeed  if 
they  could,  there  might  be  an  inconvenient  rush  of  babies  at 
particular  epochs!" — Romola,  chap.  4. 


O  in  the  fixed  sign  n^  in  ascendant,  protrays  a  self- 
confident  person,  fond  of  wordy  combat,  bold,  wilful, 
and  courageous,  indicating  also  considerable  firmness, 
almost  obstinacy,  and  a  decidedly  masculine  mind. 
She  was  inclined  to  be  scornful,  and  would  often  dis- 
play rashness  and  precipitancy,  as  deduced  from  the 
opposition  of  $  to  "4.  and  the  presence  of  $  in  /  . 
She  possessed  sound  judgment  and  excellent  reason- 
ing powers,  judging  from  $  sjc  y. .  D  posited  in  3rd 
house  in  a  movable  sign  would  give  considerable 
mental  activity,  and  also  sequence  of  ideas.  The  6 
of  9  and  $  gives  the  power  of  acquiring  languages, 
and  also  musical  and  literary  abilities.  As  deduced 
from  $  8  %  from  9th  and  3rd  houses,  she  was  inde- 
pendent of  opinions  and  creeds,  possessing  a  mind  of 
her  own  in  all  matters,  and  had  very  large  perceptive 
powers,  which  made  her  able  to  detect  instantly  the 
motives  of  others,  and  particularly  any  inconsisten- 
cies. She  would  see  a  great  deal  more  of  the  world 
than  most  people,  and  was  a  close  student  of  human 
nature.  The  native  was  highly  critical,  penetrating, 
and  wide-awake.  O  had  P  ^f,  which  indicated 
honor  and  success  chiefly  at  the  latter  part  of  life,  TJ. 
being  on  the  cusp  of  the  4th  house.  $  8  ^  indicated 
impediments  and  annoyances,  friction  with  and  oppo-

sition  from  her  father;  and  $  's  position  would  cause 
trouble  with  her  publishers.  The  ^c  of  5  and  2/ ,  the 
former  being-  in  the  house  of  wealth,  would  give  much 
gain  from  literature.  Vanity  would  emanate  from  $ 
8  ~4.,  and  this  characteristic  would  be  to  the  fore. 
She  had  a  candour  which  was  refreshing  to  the  open- 
handed,  but  obnoxious  to  the  insincere.  The  connec- 
tion of  $  with  $  would  add  originality  of  thought, 
and  a  mind  free  from  bias  and  the  influence  of  others. 
The  following  directions  coincide  with  her  death, 
December  22nd,  1880:—©  8  $  rad.,  J  n  $  rad.,  O  8 
$  prog.,  $  8  DR.  As  these  aspects  were  from  Stand 
xz,  the  heart,  side,  and  back  would  be  seriously  af- 
fected for  some  months  before  death. 


THE  EMPEROR  NAPOLEON  I. 

The  time  of  Napoleon's  birth  is  given  by  a  his- 
torian of  his  life  at  11:30  a.  m.  He  does  not  quote 
the  act  of  birth,  but  he  could  have  no  motive  to  mis- 
represent the  matter.  The  horoscopes  published  by 
Worsdale,  Oxley,  and  others,  are  computed  for  9:45 
a.  m.,  and  have  the  middle  of  the  sign  ===  on  the  asc. 
Students  that  are  familiar  with  Napoleon's  appear- 
ance must  know  that  he  could  not  possibly  be  a  ^ 
man.  There  is  besides  no  historical  authority  for 
such  a  birth-time.  At  11:30  a.  m.  n^  was  on  the  asc., 
with  11  therein,  2/  in  n^  is  much  more  characteristic 
of  the  man  than  ^ ;  moreover,  this  time  brings  S  and 
the  O  on  the  meridian,  and  the  former  is  in  close  * 
to  3/,  signifying  success  in  battle.  The  position  of 


172 


ASTROLOGY.  173 

$  near  the  llth  house  indicates  a  powerful  ally  in 
battle,  but  being-  in  his  detriment  would  cause  indis- 
cretion and  rashness  in  contention,  and  could  not 
stay  his  descent  from  power. 

The  portraits  of  Napoleon  show  that  he  was  a  good 
type  of  the  TH,  person,  the  nose  being  slightly  curved 
and  rather  long,  and  the  eyes  having  a  fixed,  sharp, 
and  penetrating  look. 

Another  strong  confimation  of  the  correctness  of 
this  figure  is,  that  Napoleon's  M.  C.  is  here  the  nadir 
of  the  younger  Napoleon,  a  feature  which  so  often 
happens  in  the  nativities  of  parent  and  child.  The 
position  of  $  in  the  7th  house  in  <?  to  2/  alone  ac- 
counts for  Napoleon  divorcing  his  Empress,  and  is 
strong  signification  of  the  opposition  he  met  with  in 
life;  and  the  7th  house,  representing  the  general 
public,  his  credit  there  would  fluctuate.  His  sup- 
porters were,  however,  more  numerous  than  his 
opponents,  as  signified  by  $  #•  2/,  these  planets  be- 
ing elevated.  $  in  the  M.  C.  in  A  to  $  in  the  house 
of  war,  and  *  to  11  in  the  asc.,  gave  him  military 
support,  and  indicated  the  success  in,  warfare  which 
gave  him  his  throne.  It  is  noteworthy  that  Regulus, 
a  star  said  to  be  of  the  nature  of  $  ,  is  conjoined  with 
the  O  on  the  M.  C.,  which,  old  authors  aver,  brings 
military  preferment,  but  ultimate  disgrace  and  ruin. 
The  North  Scale,  said  by  the  ancients  to  bring  good 
fortune  and  eminence,  ascends  with  y. .  ^  in  the  9th 
house  in  8  to  the  D  ,  brought  him  disaster  in  distant 
lands,  as  he  would  there  meet  with  deceit,  treachery 
and  starvation,  zz  the  sign  of  h  is  said  to  rule 
Russia,  and  the  opposition  just  named,  and  $  being

in  .his  detriment,  were  the  causes  of  the  Moscow 
catastrophe.  The  man's  exaggerated  ambition,  self- 
confidence,  pugnacity  and  vanity,  were  inspired  by  "4. 
n  O,  V.  *  $  in  elevation,  and  y.  in  n\,  %.  to  $ ,  giv- 
ing him  force  of  character  and  determination,  and 
making  him  steadfast  of  purpose,  inflexible  and  un- 
flinching; bold  and  ambitious  of  honor. 

Men  with  $  so  much  to  the  fore  at  birth  rarely 
scruple  to  sacrifice  others  to  gain  their  ends.  If. 
rising  in  r/i  would  make  him  eagerly  avaricious  and 
egotistical.  D  <?  h  and  $  6  J?  would  add  wari- 
ness, finesse,  fear  of  the  unknown,  and  a  leaning  to 
occult  science.  D  8  $  gave  him  marked  intuition 
and  good  mental  qualities.  The  evil  houses  here  are 
the  7th  and  9th,  being  occupied  by  ¥  and  h  ,  and 
these  houses  and  planets  would  in  some  way  assist  to 
bring  about  his  fall. 

The  O  on  the  M.  C.,  unafflicted  by  the  malefics,  is 
a  sure  sign  of  a  lift  to  power  and  position  of  trust. 
Besides  being  in  the  house  of  long  journeys  and 
foreign  lands,  h  is  in  a  watery  sign  and  on  the  thres- 
hold of  a  fiery  sign,  which  signifies  disaster  abroad 
both  by  fire  and  water,  sea  and  land,  h  is  in  55, 
which  rules  the  breast  and  stomach,  and  being  in 
close  opposition  with  the  moon,  points  to  organic 
weakness  of  the  stomach  and  active  system,  which 
disease  would  be  lingering  and  chronic  as  signified 
by  Saturn.  It  is  remarkable  that  Napoleon  is  said  to 
have  died  of  cancer  of  the  stomach.  O  n  11  would 
produce  a  derangement  of  the  liver,  and  system.

THE  RIGHT  HON.  W.  E.  GLADSTONE,  M.  P. 

Mr.  Gladstone  has  stated  that  he  was  born  "  about 
breakfast-time,"  and  a  map  for  about  8  o'clock  is  cer- 
tainly characteristic  of  him.  The  horoscope  is  com- 
puted for  8:10  a.  m.,  which  brings  $  to  the  cusp  of 
the  M.  C.  W  in  this  position  is  sure  to  cause  a  fluctu- 
ating- credit.  The  figure  displays  a  subtle  and 
capricious  man.  People  with  $  in  VJ  on  the  asc.  are 
noted  for  finesse,  diplomacy,  craft,  instability,  and  a 
fickle  judgment.  XJ  on  asc.  indicates  that  he  is  ever 
feeling  his  way  along,  fearful  of  committing  himself; 
yet,  as  $  also  ascends,  he  possesses  great  determina- 
tion and  physical  and  moral  power,  but  perhaps  not 
sufficient  to  make  him  at  all  times  scrupulouly  and 
conscientiously  exact.  On^/jS^^jDnO  and 
D  D  $  (the  latter  being  in  a  subtle  sign)  show  that 
he  is  secretly  vain ;  catering  unobserved  for  the 
applause  of  the  multitude;  preferring  universal  dis- 
tinction and  approval  to  an  empty  title.  Q  a  # ,  D 
D  $  and  ODD  give  him  excessive  aspirations;  and 
$  rising  in  zx  lends  an  aggressive,  vehement  and 
contentious  spirit. 

The  esteem  in  which  he  is  held  by  so  many  people 
is  brought  about  by  9  in  the  12th.  People  with  y.  or 
9  here  at  birth  have  an  attractive  and  fascinating 
power  over  others,  y. ,  too,  in  the  3rd  (one  of  the 
mental  houses),  endows  the  native  with  some  fine 
qualities,  and  makes  him  kind  and  considerate. 

O  and  $  being  in  the  asc.  give  self-confidence, 
independence,  and  force  of  character,  making  him 


176 


ASTROLOGY.  171} 

haughty  and  self-assertive;  but  $  being1  in  a  movable 
and  capricious  sign  and  in  n  to  D  ,  decision  and  fixed- 
ness of  purpose  are  wanting-;  and  beneath  all  his 
actions  there  is  a  subtle  egotism  to  be  found  from  the 
aspects  previously  referred  to.  He  is  courteous,  but 
strategic,  and  never  gives  himself  away;  in  fact,  he  is 
diplomatic  in  every  move,  hence  it  is  very  difficult  to 
detect  his  motives  and  inconsistencies.  There  is  a  dar- 
ing1 arrogance  about  him,  deduced  from  D  n  $  and 
0  n  Jl ,  propelled  by  $  in  asc.  O  and  $  give  him  much 
earnestness,  although  the  restraining  faculties  pro- 
duced by  D  %.  h  and  $  in  a  fearful,  timid  sign,  are 
here  marked.  $  in  >5  robs  him  of  all  honest  blunt- 
ness,  and  that  planet  being  conjoined  with  O  gives 
him  a  keen  preception,  making  him  far-seeing,  highly 
intuitive,  worldly-wise,  and  of  ready  comprehension. 
There  is  indication,  however,  that  he  would  use  the 
knowledge  acquired  by  an  observative  mind  for  his 
own  aggrandizement;  and,  to  gain  his  ends,  would 
not  stop  at  mutilating  any  impediment,  judging  from 
the  position  of  $  in  quartile  with  $ .  The  latter  in 
s|c  to  $  in  asc.  makes  his  mind  extremely  active, 
analytical  and  ingenious.  $  ascending  in  D  to  $ 
makes  him  courageous,  and  able  controvertist,  and 
every  inch  a  disputant;  in  fact,  polemics  have  a  fas- 
cination for  him. 

From  the  numerous  and  varied  aspects  in  this  fig- 
ure, and  the  fact  that  so  many  planets  are  in  the  asc. 
and  otherwise  powerfully  placed,  it  is  plain  that  the 
illustrious  native  is  a  most  remarkable  blend  of 
character.

VICTOR  HUGO. 

It  will  be  observed  that  9  is  again  connected  with 
^  ,  this  time  by  an  $  and  P,  hence  he  possessed  im- 
agination, inspiration,  and  a  keen  sense  of  the  beauti- 
ful. $  inP$  and*  $.  9  is  also  P  11. 

The  latter  intheM.C.  A  D  in  the  2nd  house  shows 
honours  and  exceptional  pecuniary  success.  O  <?  h 
on  the  other  hand  indicates  misfortune,  low  vitality, 
and  indifferent  health. 

D  n  $  from  the  5th  and  2nd  houses  signifies  death 
of  one  or  more  of  the  offspring.  Judging  from  $  % 
$  in  the  3rd  house,  he  possessed  a  very  active,  ingen- 
ous  mind,  together  with  much  self-confidence;  and 
this  position  of  $  gave  firmness,  and  some  degree  of 
obstinancy  when  opposed.  His  mind  was  sharp,  acute, 
and  penetrating,  and  he  was  naturally  vigilant.  He 
would  see  more  than  most  men,  as  deduced  from  5 
P  $  and  >jc  $ ,  D  D  5  ,  and  these  were  the  aspects 
which  gave  him  his  literary  ability. 

O  8  11  would  give  a  certain  amount  of  vanity, 
though  this  was  an  obscure  ingredient,  and  the  same 
aspect  coupled  with  O  S  ^ ,  would  tend  to  lessen  the 
stability  and  force  of  his  character. 

The  following  adverse  influences  coincide  with  his 
death  in  May,  1885.  D  leaving  the  D  of  $  and  ¥ 
(complete  June,  1884,  when  his  heath  would  begin  to 
fail),  O  n  2,  O  n  h,  5  n  h,  and  $  c:  ^.

little  from  year  to  year;  but  it  will  always  correspond  exactly 
to  the  sidereal  time.  When  a  correction  is  made  in  the  sidereal
